Hope your Dad feels better

Hi Scott,

I hope your Dad feels better. I am not surprised he feels worn out. Blood test Tuesday, blood transfusion Wednesday and chemo etc Thursday. That would make most people feel a bit weary without even being anaemic.

I wonder what a bit of oxygen would do. I know that sometimes when my Hb is low, I get a persistent headache. Sometimes when I'm admitted for my transfusion, I'm given some oxygen via nasal prongs and I've noticed that it makes my headache go away and I feel a lot better.

It's just a thought. Every little bit helps.

Best of luck and best wishes to your Dad.

Chirley
