Re: Deferasirox reduces elevated iron levels in patients with myelodysplastic syndrom
Oh I am so excited to hear about this treatment!
My husband has porphyria, hemachromatosis and iron overload, among many other blood issues, leukemia, neutropenia, anemia.
Hearing about another treatment option, even if it is still in the future, makes me feel optimistic.
I just hate that clinical trials take so long
