I might look into it. When I see the haematologist when he comes up here he writes me out a script for 6 blood tests and the last one was for fortnightly. Of course when its time for cross matching for transfusion I have to have a blood test. He comes here on either a Tuesday or a Wednesday so I always have a test on the Monday so to have the latest results when I see him. I'm thinking if everything goes to plan I could use the HB monitor the alternate weeks.
