First of all, I hope they figure out what is affecting your Daughter. I cannot imagine how your Family is dealing with something like that. I will Pray for her as well and I assume others here who see this Post will join me.

The last time I dropped out of Remission four years ago the numbers came down pretty fast, but not to such low levels. I had a 7.4 Hemoglobin, should be 13.2 and a 15,000 White Count that should be 150,000 minimum. My Oncologist was surprised I didn’t have a Heart Attack from pushing Water.

I never got over 11.2 Hemoglobin after the last round of Chemo, but it was something I could live with. This time the number was lower than it was when I was in the middle of Treatment the last go round, never under 9.2.

I’m sure this will be an interesting Roller Coaster Ride. Never had to have Blood and Platelet Transfusions before, but I’ve had Eight Units of Blood and Three Units of Platelets over the past three weeks so I can survive and tolerate the Chemo. The Transfusions, Two Units at a time are only lasting about a week or so, not good enough.
I’m nothing but a Human Pin Cushion now.

The older I get the more difficult it becomes, but that’s Life and nobody said Life was fair. I’m still the luckiest guy walking.

Again, my best to you and your Family, be strong.

Wow. I can’t imagine what you’ve been through or are going through now. You must have a will to fight that matches your FR name. Somehow, you’re gonna lick this. I’ll keep praying.
