More good vibes needed... |
|
I just got a call from my mom. Her sister has taken a turn for the worse...she has chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and I'm guessing she's going to need another transfusion. She's 79. I'm hoping she'll pull through this and hang in there for a while longer. She wants very much to visit Hawaii again.
Thanks for your good thoughts...

2. I'm so sorry.. that's what my dad died of |
|
the transfusions just get more and more often :-(
How often is she getting them now? I hope they help and allow her more quality of life.

12. She had one in May... |
|
My great uncle had this disease too, and passed away from it about 5 years ago. Three days before he died, he was volunteering at the local hospital. He was such an amazing man...
Thanks for your good wishes. I'm sorry that your father suffered through this. :hug:

19. My dad was up to 2-4 units twice a week |
|
They got closer and closer together and did less and less good. When the doctor ordered 4 units a few days after the 2 units..we knew it was time to let it go. At least he was able to feel better after a transfusion for quite some time when he got them.
Perhaps she needs them more often? That's important so she'll keep enough red blood cells in her system.
Regardless, hopefully another transfusion will get her feeling better again. Many patients can go for years with them.
Sending good vibes for all of you. :hug:

I think she wants to space them out as much as possible; but if more frequent intervals keeps her from suffering, I hope she'll give them a go.

27. Encourage her to do so |
|
It will give her more energy and keep her organs healthy so she will last longer.
Sounds like she's got some years left if she can tolerate the slow increase in how many transfusions she'll need.

Or rather, she's got them. Here's to hoping she visits Hawaii again, and not just once.

And you and your mom, too. My mother died from leukemia, way back in '77, before they knew as much about it and how to treat it. I remember how much it took from her.
I hope your aunt makes it to Hawaii.
She will.
The positive energy will help.
