Yep, seems little compassion is in med field today. Especially when we are “elderly”. Ageism is alive in oncology today.
Attitude is “so what, she’s dying anyway”.

When I have received iron infusions (twice), they have always been preceded by an IV steroid to prevent an allergic reaction. Now I am really glad they do it that way. Are you close to one of the major cancer centers? I see a hematologist at Florida Cancer Center in Florida if they might be close. I feel like they listen to me.
