Did either of your doctors do blood tests to check your B12, B6, folate, iron, copper and zinc levels?

If so, do you know the specific results? You want to see the actual lab report. A low normal B12 would, IMO, would be suspect.

You can supplement B12 orally just as effectively as with a shot.

I find it a bit troubling that your hematologist would kind of diagnose you without having the labs to back up a diagnosis.
