I wanted to share with you two meds that are really helping us space out her blood transfusions.
She is on Aranesp given 1 shot per week to help with red blood cell production. It didn't make her levels go very high but helped space out transfusions. It has helped us only have 4 red blood transfusions since she came to live with me Dec. 21, 2007.
We haven't had any platelets this whole time.
I was giving her two shots of Leukine for white blood cell production daily for the past 3mths. It's really helped. Her white blood cells increased immediately. They have moved these shots to every other day now.
