10 yrs of transfusions
Hi usaf1125,
My mother is on a supportive care regime of pRBC transfusions for last 16 months, almost 40 units so far, averaging 2 units every 3 weeks.
Have you had prolonged spells of low grade fevers? She is currently battling a fever for last few weeks without any conclusive diagnosis on the cause. Maybe it is because of mds.
Have your other counts- whites and platelets remained stable in these last 10 years?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
