low platelets......

Good news! Platelets will be here for the early am! Agnst ridden day, though.

Well, thanks for that info...never occured to me that I should contact the blood bank directly. I have several friends who would donate on my behalf, but since my platelets are HLA matched (whatever that means), I don't think we could do a direct donate. I am dealing with a small hospital in South New Jersey that goes to Phila for all special blood products. I need irradiated blood as well....apparently, I'm special

Knock wood, I haven't had any serious bleeding issues...
I will mention the Vidaza lower dose to my doctor when I see him....
thanks so much for your help and support!
