- My sister has finally reached 60 for her platelets and will have her next round of chemo this week! Praising God that she is one step closer to being done with treatment. Hopefully only one or two more after this one! We will see what MDA doc...
- Since I work at a college and we will be closed for the holidays from now until January 5th, I wanted to say that I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! With everything going on in the next couple of weeks, I may not get...
- My sister is being admitted to the hospital today with some type of infection. She just finished her 5 days of chemo last week so her WBC is .3 which has us scared. They are checking her for pneumonia. If it is pneumonia, it happened really fast...
- Ok, so my sister had the IVIG last week and it did bring her platelets from 25 up to 41 but that is as far as they got. She saw the doctors at MDA today and they are switching her to a new less intensive chemo. I don't know the name but she will...
- My sister's numbers keep dropping instead of increasing. Over the past six blood draws, they have all dropped just a little. Usually when MDA gets her lab results, they call and say not yet we will see at the next draw. Yesterday when they...
- I work at a college and the fall semester just started which is always a very busy time so I am just now able to read all the posts about the members who have had or will be having transplants soon. I thought it would be easier to make one post...
- Anybody have experience with numbers being almost there for next round of chemo and then steadily dropping back to where transfusions are needed again? It has us really worried but it could be something that just happens sometimes. So far it has...
- My sister was told today by a nurse in the oncologist's office where she gets her lab work that once she finishes her consolidation treatments then she will probably go on a maintenance of chemo pills once every 28 days and lab work once a week. ...
- Jo is dealing with a severe rash at the moment that is very painful. They are not sure what has caused this rash. She does break out in a rash when she gets blood transfusions but her last transfusion was at least a week ago. She said she did put...
- Sometimes it is hard for me to understand how hard the isolation of this disease is for my sister. My sister and I are polar opposites. I am very shy and quite and she is a very outgoing life of the party type person. She and her husband would...
- Jo had her lab work yesterday and her platelets are up to 21 but her blood went down to 8.7 which would normally require a transfusion for her but since she was not feeling weak and it was borderline, they did not make her have one. WBC was down...
- Just heard from my sister from her blood work today and her platelets have finally started to come up! They are up to 17 from 5 on Monday. Needs to get to 50 for her chemo to start again but it is a step in the right direction, finally! They will...
- Does anyone know, or have any experience with a sibling donating platelets for transfusions for another sibling? Someone told us that I might be able to donate to my sister and that it might help her platelets to return faster.I did read online...
- My sister will be going this Friday to get a bone aspiration to see if she might have relapsed. I was thinking of having a cleaning service come to her house while she is gone and have them clean. She has a hard time since she is so tired and we try...
