Brief Answer:
Please attach the reports

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
I would like to mention here that every anemia has its reason. Just correcting anemia by blood transfusion is not a good practice. We should always evaluate the cause of anemia.
In your mothers case it seems to be Multiple Myeloma.
I would like to see her all reports particularly ESR, Serum Calcium, Serum Albumin, Kidney Function Test, Bone Marrow examination.
Review with reports.
