Laura, i am taking Promacta medication for my platelets. It has been a miracle keeping me out of the hospital. Have you heard about it?
I am getting ready to try CBD for my severe anemia. Vidaza failed to work after 10 months. MDS is called a blood cancer and CBDs are suppose to be a cancer fighter. Will see.

We are kind of in limbo, like he's driving around on bald tires and the doctors are waiting for one of them to blow. I don't like this at all.
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that he says he's healthy and fine, but I am a watchful wife. I know better. He sleeps a LOT, he is alarmingly thin. He only says he's fine because he wants to play hockey starting in July. I'll play his little game, because I know mentally, this is very good for him.
This disease gives me a headache.
Laura
