BFN!
So I had my blood test and it’s confirmed that we’re not pregnant. We’re shattered but I wasn’t too hopeful considering the stress I’ve been under for the last month. My OH’s surgery went okay. It was an incredibly long morning waiting for a call from the surgeons, especially when it went for nearly

Does mum need to go into hospital
Mum's care home have just rung my sister to say the Doctor has visited and her haemagloblin levels are low and she should go into hospital for a blood transfusion. She's 87, dementia, diabetes angina to name a few health issues, so as a family should we let her go into hospital for a blood transfusion

MCL
My father is being treated with ibrutinib for mantle cell lymphoma. His platelets are very low and don’t pick up after transfusion. They have stopped his 4 tablets/day of ibrutinib as he now has an infection. Has anyone else experienced this?

Now I am focusing on blood counts improving to where

My mom has HCC
I want to share my mom’s fight against HCC, she got Hepatitis C through a blood transfusion when she was only a teenager, she had successfully gone through very harsh treatments to kill the hepatitis C virus in her late 60s and has been virus free and able to enjoy life for couple of years afterwards

Begging for help
Hi, I’m 33 and from Melbourne, Australia I have always been the sick kid for as long as I can remember. At age 18 months I was diagnosed with severely low playlets and required transfusions. Luckily this rectified as I got older. Growing up I had asthma, allergies, hay fever and allergies to animals

Anyone else having to battle each time they need an iron infusion?
I’ve had PA since I was a teenager, although it took them years to identify it and I was 23 by the time I received my first loading doses. The main reason they missed the PA was due to an ongoing iron anaemia which was disguising the cell shapes on blood tests. The B12 was treated but the iron issue
