Sorry to put in another complaint but here goes: I have asked my nephrologist: is kidney dialysis deadly for a pancytopenia patient and the doctor will not speak to me nor answer this question. Keeps putting me off and has his assistant talk to me again with no answer. Cannot go to another doctor because this group is a monopoly in my county. It is important to put my affairs in order especially at age 84, Mentally this really bothers me. What can I do without traveling further which for many reasons I cannot do? Anyone please. Peach

Hello Peach,
It is always distressing to look for answers and not find them. I am not sure whether that has to do with your nephrologist's reluctance or not. I am not very familiar with pancytopenia, but it seems to me the question might be better addressed to your hematologist or whoever treats it.
Can you contact her/him for a respnse?
