Sounds like a difficult situation. Have you considered finding a different doctor who might be more proactive in your care? If you don't find what's causing the bleeding, you will never get out of the blood transfusion situation you are in. Iron and procrit can help a patient who is not bleeding, but it takes time and if you bleed, any gain made by the procrit is erased by the blood loss. Perhaps a hematologist would be more helpful in controlling your anemia and ordering the necessary tests to diagnose your illness. You should not have to wait a week for blood test results unless they are doing specialized testing, as in factor deficiency. Hope you find the cause of your bleeding and get this health issue resolved.
