Expiration Date

I had my fourth tx this past Monday, I've had them about every 2 weeks. This time both bags didn't expire for 37 days. Previous tx's had bags that expired anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks. I won't know for another week or two if the further out expiration date will decrease my frequency of needing tx's.
I asked my doctor about this expiration issue after I read this thread. My Hemonc said he would call the blood bank and ask them to give me the freshest blood available. He also wrote this request on the Dr's. orders which I take with me to the hospital when I am transfused.
