Hi,
I thought I would update you on my latest. I had another blood test this morning and received a phone call from the consultants secretary within 3 hours.
My Hb has dropped from 85, 6 days ago, to 72. My WCC is okay at 2.1 and my platelets are normal as usual at 215. Unfortunately my ESR is still high at 50. I have not developed any sign of infection but the ESR shows that I probably have an infection somewhere.
I have booked in for my regular transfusion for next Thursday which means my Hb will have dropped to 60 something by then. I have to wait until then because it is my next rostered day off work.
Thanks for the advice Birgitta but I think I'll be buying in a lot of chocolate and coffee to keep me going until my transfusion.
Bye Chirley
