No answers, but plenty of questions. As well as plenty of holes in me.

Saw my new hemo/oncologist today. Dr. Tai is a very pleasant man. I like him. He explained why my results were so troubling. No need for an immediate transfusion. After explaining in detail how the immune complex works, he then went over which of my parts have been knocked out.

Among the possible causes are Hepatitis B/C and Aplastic Anemia. There are a few other possible candidates, but those are the two most severe. But as of right now, I'm just going to soldier on.

There were two sucks today. First of all, the guy making my appointment gave me the wrong time. I was supposed to be seen at 1345, not 1145. There were two add-on appointments for Dr. Tai, and the clerk got us confused. The second came in the lab, where it took four techs five sticks to get blood. Ouch.

Still holding my thumbs for you-- though I'm glad of the not-currently-dire news.
