My labs tell the story:
📆 June 25, Aug 12, Sept 5 = transfusions.
Talzenna-induced anemia isn’t iron deficiency.
It’s marrow suppression, showing up as pancytopenia on CBC.

Not all anemia needs iron.
Talzenna® suppresses bone marrow → fewer red blood cells, even when iron is normal.
Supportive care = transfusions, not iron pills.
