My husband had over 140 units of PRBC prior to transplant. The only effect it had on him was iron overload. He is doing phlebotomy now and his ferritin levels are dropping nicely. The number of transfusions he had been given was never an issue with the transplant team as far as we know.
All the best to you.

Also, a BIG thank you to all the people who donate blood. It is a true gift of life to many, many people. It was for my husband.
