iron overload

Hi caregiver,
As you perhaps have understood myany MDS doctors really don't believe that chelation is so important for MDS patients. It is different with patients who start txs when they are children. Then iron is toxic for example for the heart. We who start txs late in life manage iron overload much better.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
