Saw my hematologist yesterday, he says its possible that the revlimid could have caused my blood counts to drop. He will check my blood again on Monday. He will then call the transplant Dr. to see what he wants him to do as far as treatment & see if they are close to finding a donor.
Last week was the scariest I have had. While I was waiting for the hospital to call & tell me that my blood had arrived for transfusion. hmg was 5.9 ( I have antibodies & they have to send to blood center in Indianapolis for my blood ) I felt dizzy and sat on couch, I guess I passed out. My husband said I was gasping for breath and he couldn't wake me. When I woke up we went to the ER and I was admitted to hospital.
Is it normal to be this fearful all the time and will I get over it after transplant ?
I am so thankful for this site where I can get advise from people going thru the same thing.
