Re: Question to ask the doctor after 8 wks of tx

[Guest guest]

Just let her know what you've been feeling.  You might want to ask for a CBC if she doesn't order one on her own.  Just to see if you're getting anemic.  It starts to happen right about now...  I had my first transfusion at about 10 weeks.  I think.  I can't remember now.. brain fog.

Hi guys,

 

Tomorrow I see the doctor for what I guess is a progress check up on the tx. I'm not sure what to expect so I wonder if there are questions I should ask or just let her do the talking? I'm kind of thinking out loud here? But, I had a rough weekend and today too so going to bed. Will check for any responses tomorrow. Wish me luck.

 

Thank you,

Donna

MOVE ON.  It's just a chapter in the past, but don't close the book.  Just turn the page.

DonnaI just went back to see what happened to me at 8 weeks. Yup, they wanted me there at the 8th week and did the blood work. Now, please remember that I was on a clinical trial and I'm fairly sure that we were followed a whole lot closer than if it was the standard tx.Nope, it seems that a blood test is regular. I went back to my original testing and after the 8th week, blood letting went to every 2 weeks. That was on both tx's actually.Gloria
