Thanks so much, Ruth. His only response to her decrease in counts was to increase her injection from 200 to 300 mg.

I know that my mom does not want a blood transfusion until it's absolutely neccessary. At what point does low hgb and rbc cause severe organ damage? Is there a guideline as to when someone must get a transfusion, i.e. hmg of 7.0?

Does anyone know what labs for AML typically look like? I wonder if he should a another BMB?

Thanks to everyone for your responses.
