A Hematologist: will be taking care of your baby for thalassemia and will determine when iron chelation therapy should begin and how often Just yesterday at the American Society of Hematology meeting the results of a successful bone marrow transplantation protocol were reported. Meanwhile, transfusion therapy after harvesting stem cells will protect the baby from the more severe consequences affecting bones by suppressing the bone marrow from the excessive production of red cells that is usually triggered by the anemia. It does appear that your child will be in the first generation to enjoy the possibility of successful transplant. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/836231
