News That I Did Not Want to Hear.

Well not sure where to start.So lets begin this.
Several years ago mentioned in my blog that I was diagnose of having Myelodyplastic anemia.Which mean that my bone marrow is not making enough of the red cell blood.
For the last few years it has been border line which is good.
Yesterday was my check up and the news was not all that great.
My blood count is down for the first time after several years.
Normally Mike comes with me to the Dr.office for some reason he could not make it due to work factor there.
Needed someone to lean on I guess.
I have noticed lately feeling tired and weak and did not pay any attention to it.Now that I think of it should have been more straight talk with the doctor.
I noticed that my nap is much longer and the weakness in my body been changing.Ask me if I had any bleeding and did not.
My skin is not pale.But at one time while we were sitting on the deck and told Mike my skin on my legs are pale and need some color.
I knew that there as some damage to the bone marrow and think that I may be getting worse as I get older.
Wow!what do I do now?
I have been surfing the web and could not come up with anything good to say about this dreadful disease that I have.
Have to go back in two months to check on the blood count again.
This is the day before leaving for my trip to Santa Fe.
Trying not to sound morbid or maybe feeling sorry for myself.
Why,cause not ready for this and have so much to do.
Guess,will take this one day at a time to see where we are going with this.
My younger sister died from this disease and this is what I have.
Today,said to myself,Positive Thinking that is what I am going to do.
I have been trying to find some answer what other people do in the case like this.I have been eating lots of greens and beans to see if this will help any.
That was my day yesterday and depress that I was driving home from the doctor.
Mike is waiting for a call to get more information if there is anything that he can do to get this under control?
This is normally not my type of writing,as I keep most of it to myself.
For some reason I am looking for some kind of support.
I know most of you will do this.
Okay,that is it and no negative speaking.
Have a great weekend.Fredo

Very unsettling news. I hope the doctor will come up with some treatment that will help you. There may be advances in the technology since the time your sister had it. We are all thinking of you.

I hope so and will hear more in the next two weeks or more.Going to fight this.The only way and to be positive in my thinking.thanks.

Oh dear! Maybe with Mike's help you will find something to keep it controlled. You are simply too full of life and love. I know there is nothing any of us can do except tell you that you are cared about and acknowledge how scary this must be for you. I am genuinely concerned. Don't let this put a damper on your trip to Santa Fe. Enjoy yourself! I am sending you lots of love.

Thanks,Dottie.No it will not put a damper on my trip to Santa Fe.
Mike is retiring next month and this is so helpful to me.
It is going to be nice having him around.

Hi Fredo, Sorry to hear your news. I study alternative healing and am enclosing some very informative links for you . These are in no way intended to be a replacement for what your Dr's are doing for you, just some info and maybe a little you can use in your health issue. I have had great success with Herbal Remedies as well as Juicing for both myself and my Senior and disabled clients I work with. I have had anemia my whole life and have finally gotten it to a manageable state. I hope some of this is encouraging for you. Hang in there!

comment by elkhound on Aug 11, 2012 7:05 AM ()

this is when the bone marrow is not pumping out blood for me.
Mostly red cell.

reply by fredo on Aug 11, 2012 8:07 AM ()

Yes, think positively and continue with the greens and beans. Talk to us
at any time about this. You are a very loved person and have a wonderful
partner in Mike. He will always be there for you and so will all of us.

comment by elderjane on Aug 11, 2012 6:28 AM ()

Thanks Jeri and will worked this out.I do eat a lot of greens but not beans as much.

reply by fredo on Aug 11, 2012 8:08 AM ()

I'm sending hugs and good thoughts for it being just a little blip in the test results.

comment by troutbend on Aug 10, 2012 3:10 PM ()

I hope to hear better result in a couple of weeks and thanks.

reply by fredo on Aug 10, 2012 3:40 PM ()

It is never easy to get news that is not optimistic when seeing a doctor. It does sound like they are willing to not have you get treatment immediately, which usually means that they don't think there is any immediate danger. Hopefully, your body will kick in. I know that my mother had a genetic blood disorder that affected her platlets, and they were able to provide her with a treatment. They might be able to do the same with you, if it becomes necessary.

Keep your chin up. You are loved by so many people like your friend, family, and the people here! We are here to support you!

comment by trekbrarian on Aug 10, 2012 1:13 PM ()

Thanks,AJ.Will continued to be a positive person.That is the best I can do right now.
I know sooner or later things gives in and hoping that it was later.We will see.

reply by fredo on Aug 10, 2012 1:18 PM ()

Not good. But what is good is that you are informing all of us, your friends, about what's going on. That's good for the soul. I had a friend that went through something similar. That was 5 years ago, and he's now doing fine. I'm sure doctors will do everything possible to help you. And staying positive is MOST important. We're here for you, buddy.

comment by solitaire on Aug 10, 2012 1:08 PM ()

I will find out in a couple of weeks to see if anything is going on.
I knew this will come eventually but try to not see it.
Will continued on my life till time comes.We will see.
Thanks for the support.

reply by fredo on Aug 10, 2012 1:12 PM ()

Fredo! That is hard to hear for sure... I will certainly keep you in my thoughts, Buffy nor Mike nor MyBloggers itself could stand the thought of anything but a healthy happy you!

comment by kristilyn3 on Aug 10, 2012 11:38 AM ()
