I decided to try one more consult with Oncologist. My numbers are 4.3 hemoglobin, o neutrophils and 18 k platelets. I had an injection of Retacrit to see if that will help, RBC transfusion tomorrow. He believes it has transformed and no real options except transfusions to keep me comfortable. Therefore, I cancelled Hospice for now. He did refer me to University of Miami Cancer center for second opinion and to see if I fit any trials. Will update after the visit. I am looking forward to it. Positive thoughts to all of us.
