At last a diagnostic: AA

Hello!


For those who care enough to read my posts and follow my husband issue (I'm grateful for you and specially for those who ask - I learn a lot here) I can tell that at last in Oporto Oncology Institute, Portugal which I learned is the 4th best ranked in Europe, we have a diagnostic : AA.

My husband values now are:
Hb - 6.0
Platelets - 30
Total Neutrophils - 500

He is hospitalized for treatment and doctors are quite optimist. He had his first blood transfusion today.

I am optimist as well.

I will keep you updated.

Paula, that is great news. At least now you have a diagnosis and a treatment plan. Best of luck to you and your husband.
