My husband is very secretive about his illness, and he moved away to separate from me, so I have no idea of his current symptoms. However I know he needs blood transfusions every 6 weeks,, his legs swell up so he is on strong diuretics, he walks slowly and is usually out of breath, he has damaged heart valves, he has prostrate cancer which has spread to his pelvic bone. The last blood transfusion took all day. So I wonder how bad this condition is, and I worry about the fact that he refuses to give any detail of prognosis. That's why I am trying to find out on this forum.
