My hematologist has finally found out what is going on. I have iron deficiency anemia caused by a blood defect that prohibits my blood from naturally absorbing nutrients from food. I am also intolerant to oral iron (iron supplements). So the next stop is iron treatments via IV/transfusion. I am so thankful for health insurance that this isn't going to cost me a fortune. I am also so thankful my primary chose a good center for me to get treatment at. I feel right at home and they are more than happy to answer any questions I have and walk me through all steps of the process. So next Thursday I go for my 1st treatment 6 hours in the Chemo/Transfusion room getting the iron IV. My mom has been so helpful through all of this, she is even going with me to my appointment to keep me company. Anyways, I better get back to work and do something to constitute them paying me...
Until Later.. :)
