HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is not being stated here that what kind of blood disease he has, but some time it could be geriatric disease too and if this is one then it can be managed on conservative way of treatment, still your detail query will be appreciated, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
