Transfusion

Transfusion

Well the procrit isn't working. After 8 weeks my hct was 21.3 and my hgb was 7.4 this morning. I stopped my riba after my monday morning dose. Doc is worried about heart problem with such low blood #s so I will have a transfusion tomorrow. I am 15 weeks into this and wonder if I will be able to continue. Shot #16 is due next Monday.

Sorry to hear of the low #'s.   Mine had dropped to 8.2, but is back to 9.2 , my doctor discussed transfusion with me, but up'd my dose of procrit instead.  Now just watching it closely, and hoping I can bring up my HGB.  I feel for you.  I know mine is not as low, but I dropped from 15.7, starting with week 4, and then just progressed.  I am currently on week 20/48, actually do 21 on Friday this week.  Good luck and prayers are with you.    It should make you feel much better.
