Gastric cancer that has spread to bones i pelvis, spine and legs. very low blood count. transfusions not working due to bone marrow being affected.

It should help: Blood tansfusion should help. However, it will last only for a short period of time. It will be shorter time if you have active bleeding. You should get your treatment started asap- off course, with the support of blood transfusion and growth support. Eventually, when the cancer is in better controlled under treatment, your bone marrow hopefully would gradually hwork again. Discuss with your md.
