Had my blood checked today and was very happy with the numbers. My Hgb was 11.0 and I have not had blood in over a month. My platelets were 25,000 and I have not received platelets since my surgery to replace my ports in June. This is very exciting to me because it means I do not have to spend tomorrow in the hospital for transfusions. This also helps with the accumulation of iron because of the constant receiving of blood. So, it is a win-win situation. Good day for me so I wanted to share my good news.
