Keep a record of treatment infusions...

A little advice. You should keep a record of treatment infusions.

When you receive a blood product there should be an identification sticker or tag securely attached to the "bag." Together with a precise individual identification number there will be blood type (e.g., O Positive), date the donation was made, date the donation expires, and actual volume in ml.

Most recommendations are if and when you have had about 20 "bags," you will need to discuss iron chelation treatment (e.g., Exjade) with your Doc to mitigate iron overload.
