Sham,

That's amazing to have a remission like you did and for so long. Unfortunately, SAA continues to haunt everyone even after they achieve remission.

The only thing that jumps out at me is your high Iron. Iron overload should be addressed. It can impact many aspects of health and even suppress your bone marrow. Even though the cause is most likely the transfusions, they should rule out hemochromatosis. Either way, and depending on how high it is, you'll want to reduce it. It's would also be good get a current CBC and Chem panel.
