We had a meeting last year with the head of the Blood Bank, started by asking questions about the iron in the older blood....more free iron....she did some research and came back to us after consulting with other hospitals and she found it to be true...My husband now gets the newest blood possible...
Also with developing anit-bodies, the heart rate goes sky high and blood trans. are of little use until they are found...something are chemo nurses did not know...hence 3 days in hospital emerg. and a mess...
I know I have found so much info on this site, it always feels like a best friend is beside you...and no question is too silly...
We now keep my husband's HB over 90, he just feels so much better, but at times it is in the 80's and he feels like it is over 100...
