No transfusions for now.

Thanks for the advice, Lisa.

I went with him to his appointment and it was much more reasonable than I expected from the message they left.

They are basing their treatment more on how he is feeling than on the numbers at this point, so not only are they not going to start transfusions, but they are goign to stop EPO and watch for a while to see how his numbers look (He says EPO makes him feel MORE tired). Hopefully he will feel okay, but if not we are looking at more EPO first and transfusions later on down the road. My Dad is happy about it, so I am happy about it.

Thanks again!
