Thanks so much for the information. My mom just turned 81 this past June. We wouldn't of even known that she had this if she hadn't fallen when trying to catch my dad from falling who has Parkinson's. They did a blood test because her hip swelled to the size of a watermelon, platleete numbers down to 15,000, she had 2 transfusions while in the hospital and they did a bone marrow bioposy.
The doctor didn't say what kind of medicine yet, just told us the particulars..took more blood tests to see what her numbers are and we go back next week for results. We have to give the doctor an answer then if we want to do treatment or not. How bad does this medication affect you, and what can we expect if you know.
I'm so glad I found this forum to help with certain decisions that are coming up and to just know that we are not alone. Thanks again
