There was a time I really fell in love with the twilight saga, which is a vampire series, and read all the books and really looked forward to the realease of each book and movie. I have completed all of it and I even wrote a fan fic about the main character's daughter Renesmee. It was one of the reasons why my family called me a vampire and not only because of that but because of what I have called Aplastic Anemia. I need another man's blood to live.
Aplastic Anemia is not an ordinary nutritional anemia. It is bone marrow failure.
Bone marrow is the organ of the body producing the blood components that our body needs but for me, it is not working. Bone marrow failure is organ failure and it is usually misunderstood to be just lack of nutrition or of the sorts.
This blog is about me and my family's strugfle to keep me alive despite of lack of red blood cells and platelets.
As of today, Just after my transfusion yesterday, I have platelet count of 6,000 out of the normal of 150,000-400,000 and hemoglobin of 9.4 out of 12-15 normal hemoglobin count. Through this blog, I want to ask for help from people because I am looking forward to having ATG treatment to have another chance at life.
Blood transfusion isn't treatment for me but it's not working well anymore since even after it, I still have very low counts and it expires for 3wks to a month. It extends my life for a bit but then won't make my counts rise and also, my blood count range is becoming lower and lower, I am feeling hopeless but I still have faith that God knows what is happening and He has plans.
I will be asking for help in raising funds for the ATG treatment. Paying for my blood transfusion and maintenance medicine is too much already so how will I be able to raise for ATG, too? I am hoping for people's good heart from all over the world to help me raise the money I need for it to also have the chance at a normal and at least an extended time to live. I am scared, please help me.
The pictures posted here are my lab results before transfusion. Eith hemoglobin of 4.8 and platelet count of 5,000.
