hey guys.

I just had my blood count done today and I have been diagnosed with thalassemia minor, which is a blood disorder for those who descend from italian people (asia, middle east are affected as well). However my doctor said it by no means prevents me from working as cabin crew member since i'm a thalassemia trait carrier only. However my cbc shows a slight anaemia, which my doctor said it is normal and has nothing to do with iron deficiency and there's no way to change that.
my question is: has anyone heard of that before and mostly important does anyone know if that would be enough for me to be turned down even though my doctor said it is ok since i dont have the major one? =\
i'm so worried about that. Help me guys!
