Transfusion Frequency...
My mom's had MDS and is has been requiring blood transfusions. While at my house the doctor would give her 1 unit of blood when she was in the 8s and that would last about 3 weeks. When she's with my sister they gave her 2 units and it lasted 6 weeks. Is it better to get 1 unit every 3 weeks or 2 every 6? I guess i'm wondering which scenario would your body process the excess iron better.
Thanks!
