Transfusions

Hi Samantha,
Your doctor is of cause right about that we can develop antibodies when we get transfusions - I have many so called irregular antibodies myself - and get iron overload. Still many patients continue with supportive therapy until there is some more serious reason for more active treatment.

You could write dow your mother's counts so you can follow them. In RARS-T the patients have high platelets - as far as I understand patients with RARS-T are treated as RARS patients and have good prognosis.

Hope your mother will have positve effect when she is treated with Rigosertib!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
