Mornin' Pauli:
This must be brief, I will write more later regarding MDS treatment. Do not
worry about the amount of platelets and blood products your dad is receiving
as of yet. Hard to believe but this is normal. It may takes weeks for your
dad to recover and start producing himself. My dad was told he will be
receiving blood for up to 6 months after the transplant.
The big concern is having "our Als" develop an antibody or getting iron
overload. But don't worry about something which may not happen. Look at the
website from MDS. It will answer many of these questions for you.
Right now consider it a wonderful blessing that medicine has progressed so
our dads CAN receive platelets and blood.
Have a Great Day.
A big cyber{{{{hug}}}}}} to you.
