Flying with aplastic anemia

Somebody knows if there are risks when a person travel by air with an aplaastic anemia? I have only 10 platelets and i am transfusion dependent but i want to fly and the trip lasts more than 10 hours. I have read on internet that flying with low platelets can be dangerous and you can have a brain bleed or a internal bleed and on the other hand flying with low hemoglobin <8'5 hb can be dangerous because of the presion and the lack of oxigen. I wouls like at least to have the opportunity to fly and make in this sense a normal life but i dont want to make a Crazy thing. They are too many hours in the airplane. Please, help!
