Copper
Hi Chirley,
Now your bonemarrow probably is telling you that it is impossible to make red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets without copper.
There are now growth factors for red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Then we can have PRBC and platelet transfusions but the white blood cells live too short time for transfusions.
If you have to try the copper that gave you a terrible rash you will get Prednisone or a similar drug and this will decrease your ability to fight infections.
Hope the hematologist will have some thoughts about treatment.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
