Vidaza and Blood Transfusions
Hi Alice
I just finished cycle 3 of Vidaza and am getting transfusions more and more often--2 in the last week! My platelets are not holding at all...yesterday I got 2 units of blood and platelets; more platelets tomorrow.
I am already on irradiated blood and HLA platelets that have to be ordered and come from Phila blood bank.....
I am going to my oncologist tomorrow and hope to get more info....I'll let you know.....
Would love to hear from others, but as they say, everyone is different.
My white count is 1.1; platelets 11, hgb 10 as of today....
Hold on tight and I wish you the best....keep in touch!
