Thank you both sooo much for your kind words of advice and encouragement. I have felt so alone on this journey and often times am left to find my own answers to questions because I feel like my oncology team gets annoyed with me when I ask them questions. Or I don’t know what questions I am supposed to ask because I’m given just enough incomplete information that I try to do my own research and then end up spinning out. (In this instance it was like, “yes your numbers are really low and yes you should be worried about it. Enjoy your day.”) I had to research myself to find out that transfusions might be an option for me and that this doesn’t mean that the treatment isn’t working or I can’t do the rest of my chemo and/or surgery. I’m crying as I type this (tears of relief this time!) because for the first time since this nightmare began, I feel like have people who understand what I’m going through. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. < 3
