My doctor also suggested danazol to boast my HGB, mine however was lower than yours and we were encountering hemolysis. It is worth a shot as I believe that if you have to chose between danazol and prednisone it is a "better" choice .... all relative though.
I tried it but it was not my friend as within 2 days of commencing I started having debilitating headaches/migraines and it made my cyclosporine toxic i.e. my trough levels went from about 200 to over 500 in about 48 hours. So I had to stop and unfortunately my hgb is still low as the hemolysis continues. It took me over 2 weeks to fully recover.
Good luck.
