You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have Aplastic anemia at this point, but it is very similar in initial symptoms.
If you have not already request the information package from AAMDS.org

You are very fortunate to be close to the Mayo clinic. You will be in good hands. Initial treatment will probably take a significant amount of time. The Neutrophil count (part of White blood count) and platelet count will determine how safe it is to be working on the farm. You may be very tired based on red blood counts. Do not be afraid to ask friends and neighbors for help. You will be surprised how many people are willing to help and want to help. There are others that are much more knowledgeable than I, so you will probably have a lot of information. My main advice is to have a list of questions for your doctor and ask them.
