Hi Chirley. I'm very very sorry about your dog. The continued weakness and fatigue must be frightening.
You do have difficult choices to face, and I'm glad your family is behind you.
It's very very good that your hematologist is trying to give you a more attractive option if you elect to go back to treatment.
Bruce just got back from another blood test. He did have his copper tested last week for the first time in a month but no results back. He thought last week it was transfusion time, but his numbers were still a little higher than expected. He upped his dose of Exjade a little bit, and is still tolerating it well.
I'm sending big hugs your way. Losing a dog is very very hard.
