Hi bebop. It doesn't necessarily sound like he's rejecting the blood he's receiving - it's just not lasting as long as it used to? That's just the way things go with bone marrow failure, I'm afraid. I started off only needing transfusions every 3-4 weeks in late 2008, and by June 2009 I was getting four transfusions every week (2 red and 2 platelets). That's not to say everyone's increase is that sharp and fast, but it does tend to go that way without treatment... What do the doctors say about possible treatment options?
