<< < (3/7) > >>

nice friend:
Cheriean ,
yeah i know that final decisin will be mine , as it was in interferon's case ...  i want to try everything that is available here and sound promising .. i m a lil tired of going for Tx every 10-12 day .. and i dont like to go there that's why i m late to my scheduled  Tx date .... i dont know why i dont like to go there , admin of my tal center has told me that when-ever i want i can go there fr Tx and they will arrange blood for me when-ever i will b ther for blood .. and he has said me to dont worry abt shortage just plan ur Tx day and u will get blood at that day  but i still dont like to go there ... that's the reason why i want to try this ...

i think , i should ask my doctor again abt it .. hope to hear sumthing positive. i think my doc will allow me to go for this ..

Umair,
There is nothing wrong with feeling that you dont want to go for a transfusion, as long as you still keep the transfusions up. We all need you with us.
I do understand though because I am exactly the same. As much as I love my hospital family, I hate going in. I have always felt that its one day stuck in a place when I want to be else where. One day of my life that I will never get back. But I also remember that I have to give up that one day or else...... :dunno Don't want the alternative. I guess that is why I go all out trying to extend the transfusion times and communicate with my specialist. I refuse to discuss with the junior drs now because they mess things up.
I control my destiny :biggrin
Chin up my mate, you will find your silver lining in life. :hugfriend

Cherianne,

I really love your positive attitude and your encouragement for everyone :hugfriend.

Umair,

Now that your ferritin is quite low your body must be a bit relieved,so you can ask your doctor if she allows you a little dose of Hydrea after doing all the necessary tests,and then keep monitoring all the blood levels.

I don't know guys. Cherieann's case is one of the few cases I have heard of, concerning hydro's success. Here it has been tested but the results were not so encouraging.
