Suggest Remedy For Blood Transfusion

My problem is that my blood system is not working right, at the moment, some months in fact causing me to have blood transfusion about every three weeks, iron I now ok but still not working, blood count ranges from 73,83, even after transfusion, so now trying Prednisolone 25mg if this might give the system a kick start. I am 87 years old and have never taken more than a light wine, this has just started this last year after a bowel operation for a cancerous node and a heart pacemaker this has occurred in the last year, prior to that I had een in good health
