Hi BerryP,
My husband has MDS and right now his RBC is normal. However, our hematologist told us that he has "giant" red cells. It is my understanding that the MCV - Mean Corpuscle Volume - is the measure of that. Don's is quite high. But she also said that the giant cells are evidently doing the job - he does almost anything he wants without any negative effects from their size. I have also heard that the MCV is a measure of bone marrow stress - maybe they go hand in hand. But I do trust what our Dr. says MCV means (size of red cells) - she specializes in MDS and is an expert.
I know this doesn't give you any personal information but I did want to tell you that maybe it is a result of your AA - and that the large red cells may not hamper your health or activities.
Best wishes,
Sally
