I just went thru this with my Dad. His transfusions finally stopped working so they were stopped. His appetite was horrible and he lost alot of weight. At the time of end of life according to hospice information offer them food and water and if they don't take it try not to force it. It is the body's way of saying enough. Perfectly normal. Trust me though I know how hard that is to realize and deal with. If the transfusions are boosting her I would probably continue for a little longer. From the time they stopped until Dad's passing was 1 day short of a month. He was platelet and rbc dependent. Feel free to ask me anything. I am sorry you too are going thru this. btw Dad was 81
