Thank you Birgitta. Seems huband's doctor feels like he is old and expendable. We both have sensed that when we are at the office. But husband continues to be active and is making plans for next year's garden already. I may request another trip to Seattle to be seen again and find out if there are other options we haven't looked at yet. He gets 2 units of red cells about every three weeks and has been taken off Exjade due to other blood test results. He tolerated the Exjade as far as we know, not knowing what it was doing to his insides. No perfect solution but I read here for more ideas. Not eating iron-rich foods has to occur but that doesn't do much I don't think in the long run.
