She also gravely told me if this next treatment doesn't work (the last one took most of a week out of my life) that I'll have to go to the hospital for a transfusion. "Please can we just do that," I said. Because it would solve my problem and put me on the road to recovery. But no. Now we're doing another iron treatment I might tolerate but I don't see exactly why this one won't make me sick. She pointedly told me it's for children.
