3rd BMB

Hi Birgitta-A,

Thanks for the EPO links.

Yeah i totally agreed with you. We will see what the hema says after they have both of the results (BMA + BMB). At the meantime, one of the hema mentioned about PRCA after looking at the BMA results.

Actually i am a bit confused about the iron store reduced in the BMA results as my mother now having the Ferriprox to get rid of the iron overload.

For sure i will find out from the hema about all my doubts plus any other tests to be sure that my mom is PRCA and No MDS or other illness.

I need some advice on this just in case i need to make a decision if the hema propose on "EPO + drugs" to try at the beginning stage. Do you think i need to seek another advice in "centers of excellence (singapore)" first before continue with the EPO treatments ?
