Thread: Acute Lyphoblastic leukemia

Forgot to add. Once stabilized at that O-L-R Hospital for anemia, etc.This will buy her time so other options can be explored. They have synthetic drugs
to boost red cells, white cells and platelets - probably in stock. You can find out more about these drugs on this website.

They will probably give her Iron by I.V. and EPO or similar for red cells. There are different brands with slightly different effects. There are even synthetic drugs to boost platelets and also white blood cells. The bloodless center should know and have them in stock.

Our lady of Resurrection was the 2nd hospital we took my mom, because of their bloodless medicine unit. They did her bone marrow biopsy and diagnosed her with ALL on feb. 7th. They also discharged her and recommended hospice. The Dr said that without blood he couldn't start her on any treatment. They never offered to give her any sort of blood builder, they said with her levels of blood it would do no good. That is why we are so desperate to find her some help. Unfortunately she is too weak to get on an airplane.

Yesterday we started her on Poly MVA. Has anyone ever had any experience with this??
