Hi Natalie! I constantly have low RBC, at my last Herceptin tx it had dropped to 10.4 from 11.7 3 weeks before - a bit confusing to my Doc. I can't tolerate oral Iron supplements so I get IV iron when I get my Herceptin. My doc is even more confused as I got the iron 3 weeks before this latest test result of 10.4. I had endomentrial ablation as my periods were really heavy, but I know you don't have that problem. Hmmmm... maybe it's because you haven't eaten any spinach lately! I would take the supplements and get it re-checked in about a month. I really don't think it's related to cancer at all (I'm hoping not for both of us!).
Hang in there, and I'm really glad your tumor markers were nice and low.
