Blood transfusions

Hi,

I have just been told that I've developed grade 3 kidney failure and pernicious anaemia and the blood tests show a possibility of a gastrinoma as well (yet more tests).

The doctor implied that the kidney failure might have been caused by the repeated blood transfusions and I was wondering if any one else has had this.

Also, I was curious about the pernicious anaemia. Is it common among people with MDS/bone marrow failure? Has anybody else got this. I'm starting weekly injections tomorrow and am very hopeful of feeling better shortly.

Thanks

Chirley
