Now I get it
Aloha,
Ok, thanks, my hemo DID say what I thought he said! And thanks for the link. I've learned that the more I know, the better.
And talk about being proactive! Just start giving Desferal from the very beginning... good move.

In Sweden all patients get Desferal in this mode because it is considered safe and effective.
