Transfusion problems in MDS

Hi
My mother is disgnosed as MDS with low RBC and is transfusion dependent. Transfusion is done every 10 days. She already undergone some 90 packs of RBC cells. She is now very pale and weak.
The transfusion process is taking a long time. Almost 4-5 hours per pack. Is it the same with all such patients ? Nurses say her viens are not very supportive during such transfusions.
