I'm with Mike, I appreciate all the prayers and good wishes I can get. I learned this week that Medicare has cut back on how much they pay on Procrit, so now I have to pay a % on each shot. I get about 2 shots a month which I am now not going to be able to pay for. So I guess I will just have to wait until my count gets down low enough for a transfusion, my doctor lets me decide when I want one. I got into an arguement with my daughter in law about whether or not you can donate blood to a particular individual, she says no, I say yes. Does anyone out there know. She took it as an affront when I asked her to donate blood to me. As I have said before I do not have good family support, she gives blood to the Red Cross every month , so its not that she is against giving blood. How do I find out more about this? Joanne
