I go for my final shot tomorrow and am planning to share this concern with the doc.

I wait until mine gets down to 7.5 to help prevent iron overload.... But as soon as mine hits 8.5 I rest a lot so i will not strain my heart much. If you can not rest because of your life style i would suggest 8.0 or 8.5.
