Hi Carrie, it is very easy to get worked up over some of these things. The slightest irregularity can have (well certainly me) trawling the internet and reading medical things which I don’t fully understand (and drawing my own conclusions).
As the wise one (Neil) says, everyone is different and reacts differntly to treatment. Hang in there, try to keep your dad eating well and I’m sure the counts will come……

You are in my prayers

I’ll second everyone’s comments. Whilst I cannot imagine what having MDS is like, I do know that feeling helpless towards your loved ones is very difficult. However, whilst I don’t condone things like that, put it down to the person that PM’d you was having a bad day. We all have ’em, and sometimes we do things we don’t really mean.

I wish you the very best of luck Bill. There are concerns, but hey, the positives sure outweigh them !

Brilliant Suzanne – long may the health continue!

Hi Dave – Karen always has reaction to platelets (not as bad symptoms as you – she starts coughing and itching). They give her cortisone and piriton (ant-allergies I believe) every time before the platelets. Red’s have always been fine.

Guys – many thanks for your responses.
Karen finished her chemo on Saturday and I think all things said and done isn’t doing too badly. Sore mouth,upset stomach, loss of appetite and lethargy seem to be the main symptoms at the moment. She did contract a fever overnight last night but the IV antibiotics seemed to have sorted that out.
She’s super-brave, I just hope she can keep it up.

Bill and Mary – thanks for the link – most informative.

Best wishes and prayers for all.
Don

Hey Marsha – that is fantastic news. Sounds like it wasn’t a walk in the park but it’s the cure that counts. Well done and great to hear you’re back.
Take your time and focus on getting well.

Many thanks Cheryl. Sincerely hoping that Marsha has got through it OK.

My fiance goes in for the first round of her Chemo next week with her BMT on March 1st.
