Debra,
You might want to post your question in our
Transfusions and Iron Overload forum where people who know about these issues may be more likely to see it.
You should also contact Leigh Clark, Patient Educator at the AA&MDSIF, for information about iron overload. She can provide a balanced review of the pros and cons of the different treatment options. You can reach her by phone at 800/747-2820 or by email to
clark@aamds.org.
Hope this helps.
