Wednesday, November 26, 2008 | A Frustrating story

Went for my chemo today and could not get it due to my Hemogloben being to low.  I have to go for a blood transfuseion on Friday.Will get two units.  This is my first with this experiance at being transfused. Dr. also put me on a  special Iron and almost doubled my Aranesp shot. 

 I sure didn't expect this to happen.

 

Hope ya all have a nice Thanksgiving.  Carol

    Sorry about your low Hemogloben and having to get a blood transfusion. They are not as scary as it seems. Hopefully the special iron and doubling the Aranesp shot will help. Have a nice Thanksgiving.

    I hope your transfusion went okay and you are feeling much better. Chemo does a job on your blood.
