Iron Overload
Marlene,

Thanks for replying with so much information.

It's true that I am being pretty optimistic about the 2nd tx. It's worth trying the Desferal; after all, if I tolerate it, it will help. The doc says I can sleep with it and not wear it during the day.

My doc was saying something about also getting Desferal during transfusions to help right at the time of transfusion? Have you ever heard of that? I think he meant injections.

Bill
