FAQ – Dr. Freddy Aviv Answers Your Questions
1. How do I know if my anemia is serious or just due to fatigue?
Anemia can be a sign of many conditions, from simple iron deficiency to chronic illness. A basic blood test and a consultation are usually enough to find out the cause and decide on the right treatment.
2. What symptoms might suggest lymphoma?
Common signs include swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and ongoing fatigue. Not every swollen lymph node is cancer, but if these symptoms don’t go away, you should get checked.
3. Does every patient with myeloma need a bone marrow transplant?
No. Many patients respond well to drug therapy alone. Transplantation is considered for those who meet specific criteria, and it often improves long-term control of the disease.
4. How is Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) treated?
It depends on the stage and form of the disease. New medications, including targeted therapies, are now available, and for some patients, bone marrow transplantation is the definitive option.
5. When should I be screened for clotting disorders?
If you’ve had recurring blood clots, a family history of thrombosis, or experienced clots at a young age, it’s important to be tested. Early diagnosis helps prevent complications.
