Hi -
Did the cardiologist do a CBC - are the blood counts you provided recent or a few months old?

I had MDS - when my Hgb dropped to 10 and lower I would have shortness of breath and chest discomfort on exertion (turned out I also had some other cardio problems) -- Given the clean bill of health from the cardiologist I'd suspect the discomfort is from the anemia - but I am not a doctor -

Sounds like he is otherwise doing great. If his numbers are still relatively good, not rocking the boat sounds like a reasonable plan.

Best wishes,
Paul
