Wherenext, The Mayo Clinic is a great place, the key to this is wherever you go is to trust and have 100% confidence in your doctor.Sometimes throuhgout this journey things can look grim, so sometimes the best recourse is just to wait and see what happens after a few more doctors appointments before decideing on what direction to take for furture treatment ( stay the course or switch up ) to see what kind of trends are going on, how your mom feels health wise ( daily activitys, energy, appitite, bowel movements, ect. ) go hand in hand with blood reports, you can have low counts but feel good, so thats a good thing, paying attention to overall health is very important ( new pains, changes in dispositition and things like that ). As Birgitta said about infections, there are things we can not control ( internal ) but we can control the external, just be aware of your moms surroundings ( the first thing we do when anybody comes in our house is ask them to wash thier hands ) Wherenext Ill tell you from experience, the sooner you adapt to this new way of life, the less exhausting it becomes, weather you go to the doctor once every 3 months or twice a week, you CAN figure out how to make this seem normal which will make life more easy, which inturn makes life more enjoyable, we are praying for ya'll.... YOU ARE NOT ALONE..... LizR were praying for ya'll to....Brigitta - You are a true Warrior....Love Billy and Tina
