May I ask what you mean by his bone marrow can not handle a full phlebotomy? Mike had been doing 250 ml on a monthly basis since 6 months post transplant. We were in Florida for 4 months this past winter and saw the doc that we usually used while down there prior to transplant. She ordered up 500 ml to be drawn off. I was a little nervous, but she said that it would take forever at 250. He hasn't experienced any problems with this amount being taken, however, his FE is rising! Any ideas?
