Need info

Hi,
I am trying to get information about my dad, and the doctors are of no help. He was diagnoised about a year ago. He is 81 yrs old. His red blood count is 10.3. The doctor does.his blood work every 2 months. The doctor saw him in May and told him he would see him again in Feb. He has NO energy, gets dizzy alot, doesnt go out the house very seldom, and is completely drained.
How low does his red blood cells.have to be, in ordered for them to give him a blood transfusion? Also how long is he able to go like this? He feels so bad that he always talks about dying and doesnt think it can get worse, but what I have read, it can
Please help
