Well I am not certain but please pray for me some test results came back and it shows I have Bone marrow failure. I am not surprised I hope I do not need to go through any of the following types of treatments It depends on the severity of the patient’s bone marrow failure disease. Losing too much blood results in a blood transfusion. A blood transfusion replaces lost blood from the disease and gives the patient whole blood. Blood goes through a tube and ends up in a bag that is hooked to an intravenous catheter, which is then inserted into a vein. Blood transfusions are safe and acquiring a disease through a blood transfusion is rare. However, According to WebMD, “Getting the wrong blood type by accident is the main risk in a blood transfusion, but it is rare”. Blood is collected from volunteer donors who agree to let doctors draw blood stem cells from their blood or bone marrow for transplantation. “Blood stem cells are the cells that make all of the body’s blood cells”Blood that is taken straight from collected blood stem cells is known as peripheral blood stem cell donation. A peripheral stem cell donor has the same blood type as the patient receiving the blood cells. Once the stem cells are in the patient’s body through an IV, the cells mature and become blood cells. Before donation, medicine is injected into the donor, which increases the number of stem cells into their body. Feeling cold and lightheaded, having numbness around the mouth and cramping in the hands are common symptoms during the donation process. After the donation, the amount of time for recovery varies for every donor, “But most stem cell donors are able to return to their usual activities within a few days to a week after donation. I pray the Mayo will have even more answers.
