HI guys, i'm new here, my hubby is a Thal major, now thal intermedia after long treatment. I have a question...my husband is now 23, and i some whereabouts about Thalassemia. So far in his life...growing up he did regular transfusions, and he also had his spleen taken out 4 years ago. He is now okay and does not need transfusions anymore. I know from the doctor that I'm supposed to not give him food with alot of iron in it. I'm also supposed to give him calcium, vitamin a and d in case of osteoprosis. I want him to take a bone marrow density test, to show any signs of osteoprosis is this a good idea? At this point in his life, what should I be worried about? or be looking for? what are some important factors that I should be looking at right now? I'm worried alot because I don't know alot about this...and my husband does like to talk about it much....Someone please help me. Thank you.
