    I know in my wife’s case, they never told us that. Call me naive but we went into it thinking a bit of treatment and life would go on. It wasn’t until after the fact that I learned the life expectancies and such. I know each individual is different and some go on and on. Some respond to treatment, some don’t.

    As far as I am concerned, if you give up, you will lose the battle. Fight it and you have the best chance you can give yourself. Learn as much as you can, communication is key with your doctor. Just keep up the fight…..

    I am so so sorry. I don’t know what to say anymore to these things. This disease is just so awful. I pray for you and your family to find peace with it like he has. It is a tough road to be on but with the help of friends and family it will get better.

    Please let me know if there are any arrangements being made etc. And as always, I am here if you need me.

    Yes he can receive both red and platelets in the same day. They used to transfuse my wife like that all the time. I can’t answer any of your other questions but I am sure someone on here will.

    Just don’t take no for an answer. Keep searching and asking questions until you are satisfied.
