Question Red Blood Cell Morphology

I had a stem cell transplant on 6 April from a matched unrelated donor. With the exception of my Red Blood Cells (RBC) my blood counts have improved significantly. My RBC is holding around 3 mil/cu mm. What concerns me is the Complete Blood Count (CBC) come back with the RBC morphology as:

"Moderate, Macrocytosis, S1 Polychromasia, Marked Anisocytosis".

I would not have expected this after the transplant since the RBCs were probably derived from the donor stem cells.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this.

Thanks!!
