Thanks so much for the concern, we went to the doctor's again and they want to do IV therapy 5 times a week every month and knowing my mom she will not be able to withstand that. We are going on a weekly blood count check and getting transfusions if needed. Her numbers this past week were ok, platelets at 23, so will probably need transfusion next week. Doctor will wait till platelets are down to 15 before transfusion.
We, including the doctor's have explained everything to her and this is what she has chosen...along with our help. Their diaganosis is 4 to 6 months, but we are very hopeful that we will get much longer.
