Blood Types?
A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am curious, my husband has O negative blood and his friend also has negative blood. These are the only 2 hemophiliacs I know. I was wondering if there is a correlation with negative blood and hemophilia? Also, my husband has a MTHFR mutation, which makes his body less able to detox, among other things. I do not know about his friend’s status on this, but we found out through 23&me and genetic genie. Does anyone else know their status as far as blood type and/or MTHFR mutation, specifically 677… read more

When Surgery Is Needed , How Do You Get Oncologists/hematologists To Work With Surgeons To Arrange Surgery, Infusions, And Observation?
A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I posted an in detail story about what’s happening, but in short. I need multiple surgeries and I am constantly being canceled by the oncologist for numerous reasons (not financial) for some ridiculous reasons such as dates, locations, etc. no referrals or rescheduling, no nothing, just cancels the surgery and surgeons eventually get annoyed and back out leaving me scavenging for other surgeons. Which most once they hear hemophilia refuse to do the surgery because apparently this is a common… read more

A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Do you ever push yourself through a bleeding episode without infusing I do and it's actually not that bad once the bleeding has calmed down and gone away I hate needles is there any advise for this

A MyHemophiliaTeam Member
