Tammy,
You sound sick and tired (although maybe not so much today as when you opened this thread). You're entitled to, but also entitled to put the gloves back on and say "skrue you cancer". I am winning...not you. This is what I'm reading in your second post - still tired but gloves coming back on.

Lots of good suggestions. I ain't certified to give any advice of any kind of course, but I have recently read several articles about "green" I.e. chlorophyll helping RBC. I've been struggling a bit with that since last fall myself. I've been trying ( when I'm not too tired) to get green juices or make my green soup (celery, green beans, zucchini, parsley and whatever else green that falls into the pot or blender) and when I do, it seems to help. Occasionally I will toss a little "green powder" in something.

The most interesting thing I read was something along the lines of chlorophyll having a nearly identical composition to blood. I guess there's at least one difference which accounts for us not having green blood like Vulcans...or the Wicked witch of the west. Forget that last sentence, I shouldn't be allowed out or online on day 11 of a chemo cycle

but for me it has seemed to coincide with better hemoglobin and platelet numbers.

Any step you can take to feel a little better will also make you feel stronger. One step at a time.

Take care, my friend
Chris
