Hi @oneillbe26, welcome. Am I correct that you have been diagnosed with CLL or SLL and are now also experiencing anemia as a result?

The most common treatments of anemia in patients with cancer include:
- Iron therapy.
- Red blood cell transfusion, commonly known as blood transfusion.
- Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs)
- or other drugs.

Have any of these options been mentioned to you?

Sorry to put in another complaint but here goes: I have asked my nephrologist: is kidney dialysis deadly for a pancytopenia patient and the doctor will not speak to me nor answer this question. Keeps putting me off and has his assistant talk to me again with no answer. Cannot go to another doctor because this group is a monopoly in my county. It is important to put my affairs in order especially at age 84, Mentally this really bothers me. What can I do without traveling further which for many reasons I cannot do? Anyone please. Peach
