Hi @kathy115 I just wanted to pop in this morning to see how your husband and you, are doing. Has he required a blood transfusion yet? Have you learned any more from his hematologist/oncologist?

Hi @Loribmp,
Thanks so much for checking on us. So Jon had his transfusion 2 weeks ago today and is feeling better from it. He goes back to the hematologist on Thursday and he wants him to take Revlimid. I’ve read both good and bad reviews on it so hopefully Jon will make out ok with it. He also has to take a baby aspirin daily while on it for the possible blood clots. I’ve heard it can lead to leukemia also. We’ll have to ask the doctor about that. Thank you for all the links you included in your first note. They were very helpful. Hope you’re feeling well.
Best, @kathy115
