Old blood
Hi Chirley,
Well, I don't think the nurse is an expert in the field of how blood changes during 42 days when it is frosen. Too bad that you had to get 2 units of blood after 2 days!
I have 4 antibodies (I don't remember their names) and it takes many hours to find compatible blood. Then I get intravenous hydrocortisone before transfusion to prevent hemolysis, like you, but I don't think that has much effect. I think we only have leukocyte depleted blood in Sweden but I don't get irradiated blood.
Have you asked about Exjade and the possibility to get a SCT with cord blood?
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
