Question Newbie here and looking for some advice....

Hello!!

I had my BMBX completed about 2 weeks ago. I went for my follow up appt. My results were all clear except for the fact......... I have no Iron and no Iron storage. My feritin is 0, even after iron transfusions, iron rich diet, and supplements. I am still awaiting for the genetic testing to come back. I keep asking my hematologist the same question... why is my body not producing Iron... to use and to store. His words were to me I do not know. I said that is the reason we agreed on doing the BMBX. He keeps telling me he has no answers. Every two weeks my labs drop even more! His answer is we will just continue with iron transfusions until the numbers come up. How about an answer as to why this is happening. Have any of you experienced this? I am concerned something is missing and in the long run it may turn into some form of cancer.

Thank You for any and all input!!!
