When I checked him in at the hospital Tuesday for chemo, I asked that he be tested. I do not think that they have done a test yet nor have they said anything about it to Harry.
I am a little concerned about the dismissal of this without verification. If he is a carrier, does this mean that he might get ill again when his counts drop after the chemo?
He already has anemia because of the chemo and they give him a neulasta injection because he is suseptible to nutropenia.
Should I be more insistent about having him tested?
Thanks, Cindy
