I've posted before that my dad has stage IV colon cancer, and is being treated at MD Anderson with single agent Irinotecan.
He had his first treatment, and had no side effects other than being sleepy.
Today, he went to his cardiologist for a follow up and is receiving 2 units of blood. This is in addition to 7 units that he has already received in the last 8 weeks.
Has anyone here ever lost blood at that rate?
We are grateful that he is feeling better. I just wonder what the significance of such a rapid loss is.
