Aw bless her, Liz....... it sounds like G's nanna might have one of the chronic Leukaemia's.... very difficult to detect in the early stages, and generally progresses very slowly over a period of years.

My fingers are crossed, positive thoughts winging her way, and prayers as well.

If it is any consolation to you... if it is one of the chronics, the treatment is much more gentle, although she may well need regular transfusions of blood/platelets.

Will you let me know when she has a full diagnosis?

Love and gentle (((((((((((hugs))))))))))

for my son's Nanna in Malta who at the age of 82 has just been diagnosed with Leukaemia. At the moment no one over here knows how bad things are or what treatment is being given, the only thing my son's aunt told me when she phoned is that Nanna has gone down several dress sizes but the illness was only found when she went for an annual blood test, which seems rather strange. Why didn't her 50 yr old daughter who lives with her, take her to the doctor sooner, or her son, my lad's father, do something as he said apparently there was something showing up in last year's blood tests.
The aunt and uncle, her eldest son, are going to Malta on Wednesday for a week to see her, and find out what is going on, it seems the old lady doesn't know what has been diagnosed.
She is a tiny little lady, only about 4'11" so if she has lost weight, and I noticed on our visit in 2007 that she was not so round and cuddly as she used to be, she will be very frail, bless her.
