Transfusion fear

My red blood count is 75 and the Dr's are wanting me to have a transfusion.

It is my last chemo and I really want to avoid a transfusion as I have a huge aversion to even the thought of it. I would prefer to feel like crud for the next month or so.

I know it seems a small problem compared to others we face but I just want to know if anyone out there has been in a similar situation or if anyone has refused a transfusion what has happened?

Love to know your thoughts even if you tell me I am being silly!
