#AplasticAnemia r-ATG treatment day 1. Anyone else going through it right now? Let’s kick butt!
(Also: we didn't really know much about #PNH - paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria - nor how it related to our son's #AplasticAnemia. But it's a disease, that often coincides with #AplasticAnemia, which causes the membrane of red blood cells to fail, and then the heamoglobin"falls out" into the blood stream - called #haemolysis. This website was really useful: https://my-pnh.com/pnh-resources )

@sidawson yup, it *is* scary... but also, against the background of #AplasticAnemia, I *think* this is just a blip 🤞
Hopefully his scheduled stem cell transplant in early Feb is not jeopardised.
