It's bone marrow problem as per doctors and test result, its been since radiation 3 yrs back and testicals removal, my father kept saying about hemoglobin declining but doctors never suggested bone marrow tests since then, it was gradually rising, it could have been easily cured. Now doctor said we got to know 3 months ahead else it would have been turned into blood cancer. Now they will start from tomorrow some cemo injection kind of therapy for a week and see first. They want to control or stop it before going for bone marrow transplant after 4 or 5 months. I am so lost and low now. Why did they ignore our question of low hemoglobin since so many years then
