After his latest transfusion his hemoglobin went up to 10.8. This might seem like a silly question but is it still possible this is all due to a b12 deficiency?

From what I have read, it is still possible that this is due to a B12 deficiency. The B12 test is easy to do and the treatment for a deficiency is relatively inexpensive. Has he been tested yet?
The cytogenetic testing would have had to been ordered at the time of his BMB. For me, the results have always come back in a separate report.
