Blood

Hi Greg,
I have read many articles about "old blood". They are all about patients who need txs due to operations and never about patients like us with hematological cancer. Sometimes they find that blood older than 10 days gives more complications and sometimes they find that there is no difference.

I always control the age of the blood. It is often 7 to 14 days old and I have never found that 7 days old blood lasts longer than 14 days old blood.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
