What is happening?
Hello!! I had terrible 2 days. Our doctor couldn't continue with RB theraphy because my husbands HGB counts only 5. They started to blood transfusion and made a Bone Marrow biopsy. The doctor said he has to find the reason of this low HGB, maybe the CLL has transformed to something else. We have to

“Yay I’m finally out of hospital!!”
After the last post of Bev in hospital basically learning to walk again - she was in rehab for 2 1/2 weeks - and came home this week. She has continued her exercise regime but after the 90 minute hospital rehab sessions in the morning and afternoon - she's taking it a bit easier at home. Still going

Hi I need some support, my dad has been unwell for a couple of months now, he was sleeping a lot and not eating. They did numerous tests, including a camera up and down, blood tests and then a CT scan. Eventually it was discovered that he has secondaries on his lungs, liver and spleen without knowing

ET, and prognosis
I saw my hematologist in September and asked him what my prognosis was (I'm taking hydroxy one a day and this keeps my platelets at a good level). He said that he believed that in 5 or 10 years I would probably be able to stop hydroxy and at that point I might, or might not, need some red cell transfusions

DIC?
Has anyone here had DIC as a part of their prostate cancer? When diagnosed this August my husband was in DIC and ended up hospitalized for three weeks, ICU about a week of that time, and receiving continuous blood and plasma transfusions.

Mirena Coil.......
Hi I really wanted and advice or suggestions as am very fed up now. I finally had my mirena coil fitted at the end of October for heavy bleeding (caused by the warfarin) which not only restricted what I did was also causing me to be iron deficient (two iron transfusions this year) .

Blood transfusions?
Have any of you had a blood transfusion in the past? Just wondering if that might be a common factor?
