Hi Bill,
You know I didn´t get Desferal from start - it was packed red blood cells May 2006. Then I got a port-a-cath Jan 2007 and Desferal Aug 2007. My liver functions well - my liver tests have never been elevated
- and that made my dr wait with Desferal. I am afraid of adverse reactions due to too much Desferal - as Marlene has written chelating therapy when the ferritin level is too low can result in cataract and hearing loss
.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
