What next?
Hi Nancy,
It is difficult to tell you anything about what symptoms your mother perhaps will develope when we don´t know anything about her white blood cell count or her platelets.
I get blood transfusions and Desferal (with a home pump) intraveneously in a port-a-cath for low hemoglobin and iron overload. Then I take Neupogen 2 injections/week subcutaneously myself for low white blood cells. For very low platelets many patients get platelet transfusion but new drugs will perhaps be approved late spring 2008.
Kind regards
Birgitta
68 yo, MDS Interm-1 dx May 2006, transfusion dependent, Desferal 4 days every 6th week after transfusion and Neupogen 2 injections/week
