I hope that your husband starts feeling better.

I would talk to the doctor first before starting iron. I am not sure whether taking iron supplements work the same way as transfusions, but my initial concern would be that if transfusions become necessary, the additional iron could add to or accelerate iron overload, which brings a different set of problems.
