The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves of Exjade (deferasirox), an oral iron chelator developed to treat chronic iron overload due to multiple blood transfusions.
Thank you for posting this video. Ida & Teresa, you were in my thoughts when I posted a note about Thalassemia on my Facebook. Ièm working on doing fund raising for it very soon. My name is Chadwyck and I am an alpha thalassemic minor. This video has been inspiring for me.
What type of thalassemia do you have? I'm still in the dark with my severity level. I don't require transfusions but I have alpha thal. and every time I go to the emergency, I have to explain my history. It's weird that other people know so much about this blood disease and in my area nobody knows what it is, only me.
its good that you have done this video-- i hope lots of people watch it and make use of it-- i had a lovely little 10 yr old daughter who had thalassemia major but she died after a bone marrow transplant which was supposed to have saved her from blood transfusions!!!!. father of "kiran ashfaq" remembered for ever!!
you need a match bone marrow to do a transplant.
