Hi All,
My Mom finished her 2nd round of Onconova and again needed a blood transfusion. HB dropped to 7.7. 2nd transfusion in 13 days. Platelets rose a little 27,000 to 35,000 (we will take it). She also had blood along with her bowel movement the other day, which scared her a lot. I know the right thing is to take her to a GI dr., but I just don't want to put her through anything else.
She feels good, not great, more scared than anything. Her trial dr. is asking us to be patient and calm. I know this is good advice but hard to do.
She starts third round on Monday. I will keep you posted.
Good health to all.
Paula
