Blood transfusion

Hi there! 

I had couple of transfusions and they really helped me. As everyone us different I couldn't say how your hubby would feel.

I had a really positive effect whilst I  had these through chemo.

I can't really remember much but I  was energetic and sort of revived if you know what I mean.

I hope all goes well with this.

Let us know how it all goes.

Hello Yani10

I have had many transfusions. Usually just one unit (about 300 ml) but on one or two occasions I needed two. Each time I went from feeling total loss of energy, tired and lethargic to well and truly perked up. The treatment takes about 3 hours so it's  worth taking a bite to eat and a drink and something to read or do. I have never had any adverse side effects touch wood. Even my appetite came back.

I am having my blood checked weekly to keep an eye on my Hb (red blood cell) count rather than waiting until I feel tired again.

I hope this helps. All the best.
