I met with my Nephrologist last week and when I brought up the Ferritin , she basically deferred the question. It was as if she knew my body couldn't take the only two protocols that are used to reduce ferritin levels and she didn't want to discuss it. Then yesterday, I met with one of my Oncologists, he's also a Hematologist, and he just doesn't believe I can have another phlebotomy, due to the last one dropping my Hemoglobin and RBC's dangerously low. He thinks the same about any chelation therapy drugs. He did say that he believes it will take years for the ferritin to start shutting down my organs. I believe I have good doctors, but they can't feel what I'm feeling daily. And, I think the ferritin is moving much more quickly than they seem to think. Than you @dlydailyhope.

@guyjeff123, I have no experience in this area, but I can let you know that I'm thinking of you and was following your story from the lung nodule perspective. I hope you find some answers soon. I know you said that you trust your team. Sometimes another set of eyes and smart brains on the complex problems can be helpful. Does this warrant a second opinion? Did the pathology come back from the other biopsy yet (LUL)?
