The bone marrow results have identified iron deposits in his bone marrow which is been ejected from his blood cells. As a consequence he has blood transfusions to replenish his blood cells which are dying quickly as a result of the lack of iron. Now my understanding is he has iron build up from the blood transfusions as well as the iron deposits in his bone marrow which are otherwise referred to as ringed sideroblasts. I hope I've got that correct.
