Thank you to both Ruth and Steve
Thank you both for the information! It was so helpful and it really made me feel better. It really eased my nerves.
At the second opinion at the UCLA Medical Center, the doctor indicated that my dad's iron intake was pretty high and asked if I heard of Exjade. We have an upcoming appointment with our treating physician this coming Tuesday and I will definetly bring it to his attention.
In the meanwhile, is there any specific diet I should put my dad on? It seems as if he is losing his appetite. Is there any correlation between loss of appetite and low hgb?
