Dean and I didn't realize how lucky we are that he has been able to receive single donor platelets. His last two transfusions have been single donor, and his oncologist has them requested for today. It does seem to make a difference, Dean's platelets did go up.
Dean's doctor hasn't mentioned the smoldering type of Leukemia, but we see him every Monday, and we will ask him. Not sure, what is that Billy?
How are you and Tina today? Sending our love and prayers to both of you!
(((HUGS)))
Patti and Dean
