Re: Her2 anemia treatment may be different
Rich and Hopeful,
Thanks much for sharing the research information. I've been battling anemia symptoms since my 3rd chemo treatment. Two weeks ago I had a blood transfusion + delayed my chemo one week to help bring my counts up a notch, but they are still low. I'll ask my oncologist to help decifer the information you shared in case any of it can help with treating my anemia so I can avoid another blood transfusion or further delay of my chemo treatment (I just have one more to go!).
