Hi Elaine, I eat the same way as you, the same foods and had and have(herceptin is still going on)also a reasonable blood count during treatments, but some anemia, which I had all my life already. It's a kind of anemia which is not from a lack of iron, but because the blood cells aren't made in enough quantity. The only thing is that I have a crave for chocolate and I eat too much of it, but it is 85 percent cacao chocolate. I support your question for Tanya and would like to ask also if ginseng is a good supplement for us.
