I hate leaving long posts but here it goes...I am #20  on the Monmouth Rose Registry..Procdure is June 24th. I have been flying sky high I tell you....then i went for my PAT's and my hemaglobin came back low... ...So my PCP sent me for a transfusion on Sat....had a new CBC done....STILL LOW......so I an scheduled to have another transfusion Friday and have been put on meds to help with the anemia...PCP said I should be ready to go and Dr Borao seemed VERY HOPEFUL too!!! like everything was good to go until he sent me to find out where I am on the schedule for the 24th.  I go to the front desk and ask and am immediately greeted with an adittude that made me choke up instantly. "YOUR ONLY TENTIVELY ON THE OR LIST FOR THAT DAY.....YOUR TOO ANEMIC!" I was shortly told. I went on to explain what I had been going thru, transfusions medications ect....only to recieve more cold answers...I was just trying to explain that the Both doctors belived I would be ok...and I wasn't expecting to have my happiness ripped right out from under me.  So I turned around and walked out .....head down.... tears rolling down my face....Maybe its me...maybe I'm too emotional, doesn't help that my time of the month is almost here..which is prob isn't helping with my anemia. I've just been working so so hard for this.....It will work out....hopefully...sorry to vent.  Christine

Hi Patsy..... I do belive it was 8.3  and went up only to 9.6 with my last transfusion....I just didn't need the coldness I got....I think that's what bothered me the most.   I'll keep you updated. Chris

i spoke to those involved. they are hoping your Hb goes over 11 so as soon as you have the bloodwork get it to donna. If they cant get your Hb over 11 by next week, they can probably do your case the week after. Dont despair. 2 Units should get you up to 11. no one has been given your slot !
