Hi JordanN
Thank you so much for the information - it's comforting to know that my dad isn't the only one with the problem (it certainly can seem that way). Its been a mystery from the outset. I should have mentioned that during his initial diagnosis, HGB was about 78, and after 3 units of blood it had only increased to about 89, then the next three up to 102. Seemed a rather slow increase with so much packed red cells going in. Sounds like our fathers have a very similar pattern going on.
Many thanks again - this is very useful information. Happy New Year!
Halo
