Does anyone else have anemia with a high iron count? If so, any treatments?

My wife had that problem due to iron buildup in the blood from many blood transfusions. She is taking chelation medicine to lower iron buildup.

Thank you. Not doing transfusions yet so doc not suggesting any meds. He just calls me an enigma. I guess it could be worse.
Best of luck to your wife. 🌺🌺
