Thank you for the pointers Neil.
My dad received 2 units PRBC 7 days back. The Hgb climbed from 6.4 to 7.4 as of yesterday. The platelets however dropped from 137 to 105 over that period. He still seems week despite the transfusion. We have another appt. with the oncologist tomorrow.
The cytogenetics report came back last week and the oncologist mentioned that there were no chromosomal abnormalities found - supposedly a good news ?
