Ferritin and Haemoglobin levels

Hi All, my husband had to abandon radium 223 when it was discovered that he had several lung nodules (around 8mm). His PSA has been increasing for the last 18 months (he was diagnosed August 2022) so his oncologist sent him for a scan after the 4th radium infusion which is how the lung nodules were discovered. His haemoglobin levels are down to 68 (or is it 6.8 in the US?) but it’s just been discovered, having had his iron checked for the first time, that his ferritin is 3000! We’re not able to speak to anyone at the hospital today but we’re quite shocked and wondered if any of you good people had any words of wisdom to offer? Many thanks, Alison
