Chirley,
Welcome. I don't really have any answers for you, but someone likely will. You have 5 transfusions a week? Wow! Is there some hemolysis going on?
I am curious though, if there is no dysplasia, and no chromosome abnormalities, what are they basing the probable MDS diagnosis on?
I have not heard of transfusions increasing bone marrow production, but maybe someone else has.
Why are they convinced it is not related to the lack of iron?
Sorry, all I can think of is more questions for you. Sometimes though, asking the right question can be what you need.
Zoe
