Natalie,

This is interesting. Before dx I always had low RBC to the point of almost blacking out. I had crime scene periods. I finally started doing my iron religously about a year before dx. Since chemopause and during chemo my RBCs are normal. On one hand I think iron may help tumors grow but on the other maybe the anemia is a symptom of something else. You can only do what the doc has told you to do at this point. I think this could be something interesting for further study. When I mention it to docs I get a real blank stare. Hang onto all those good results and be happy for now. BB
