Another transfusion
Yesterday Margy had another transfusion. This makes a total of 12 units since this began back in October. Transfusions take several hours and every transfusion brings with it the possibility of risks. The medication she is taking lowers her blood counts even more than usual. It is common for people undergoing cancer treatment to need transfusions. Keep her in your thoughts.
