Have they mentioned Aplastic Anemia? Usually, they must first rule out blood cancers, MDS and genetic/inherited anemia's like Fanconi's/Diamon Black-fan anemia or telomere issues with a the TERT/TERC mutations before diagnosing Aplastic Anemia. Many with AA have some level of PNH clone.

How is he treating his heartburn? The new heartburn medicines, like proton pump inhibitors, will cause nutritional issues over time which will impact ones health at some point. B12, folate, Copper, iron, zinc are the key blood nutrients affected here.
