Hi, Marlene

Thanks for your kind response.

Yes, Dad said that all three lines are effected. Dad lives far away from me, and most of our communication has been by phone. My SM goes to his appointments with him, and writes everything down that occurs at his appointments.

What is concerning me is that he can have no more blood transfusions, and I'm wondering if the EPO will keep his blood counts up so that he doesn't have severe symptoms. Dad doesn't share alot with us about all this, and we find out he has been in hospital after he comes home. He is still quite competent mentally, and makes his own decisions. We really are not aware of all that is going on with him physically.

Thank you, again!

All the Best--

Ellie
