Elevated HGB

Thanks Marlene and Lori for responding. I guess we will just have to wait and see what the biopsy tells us. I will be shocked that anything significant is wrong because he feels so good! The monthly phlebotomies were suppose to take care of this. It has lowered his ferritin, but like I wrote, the HGB keeps trending up. The doctor said, "Perhaps your body just really likes your sister's cells!"
