Sorry to hear about your wife's condition. You should follow the recommendations of the doctor/specialist.

I too am sorry hear about your wife's condition. i will light an incense stick for her, my way of sending something positive energy that way. (Whether you believe in that or not, it couldn't hurt, right?)

As for the JW's I eagerly await their response. See how they can talk their way out of this one.

You have let it get to this stage without seeking medical help?

You should ask about Erythropoietin.

Follow the advice of medical experts and not the open to interpretation, twice translated, words of peasant goat herders from 2000+ years ago.

And don't dick around asking non-medical experts on a chess forum for advice either.

I wish your wife the very best and hope she recovers swiftly.

EDIT: I am assuming from your posts that you are simply posing this as a dilemma for JW's
having already gone with medical advice and I want to make it clear that the advice as stated
is aimed at someone asking this for real.
I appreciate that I didn't make this clear.

Sorry to hear of your dilemma. I hope all will be well with your wife.
My suggestion is go do what you need to do to fix the problem. The JWs already have stated their policy on blood transfusions. Im not understanding why would your personal dilemma impact on their beliefs.

Yes it's tragic what people do to themselves in the name of a being that if it existed would
be considered to be the biggest genocidal psychopath in existence.

However I tend towards being angry at peoples stupidity than feeling sorry for the consequences
they face for it... However that depends on the circumstances.

Being born into some religions is evidently worse than being born into others. (read born into as
indoctrinated as a kid)

I really don't understand people who talk about struggling to believe because I can't see how if you didn't
strongly believe that god existed, and in souls and such, why you would try to make yourself believe such things.

However you probably have better things to do right now than try to explain, but you don't have to apologise
to me for not quoting the bible at me 😉

It is a non-issue. Pray and take the best medical advice.
I wouldn't give a second thought to JW's dogma on this.
