Hi Marlene,
There has been much discussion about iron chelation in MDS. As far as I understand the reseachers that think that chelation is important know more about the effect on immature red blood cells:

I tried Exjade 1000 mg/day and the drug prolonged my transfusion interval from 3 to 6 weeks but my white blood cells decreased so I had to stop the medication
.
Kind regards
