Hope,
I don't have an answer for your question about tumor cells loving iron. However, I too have an iron defiency anemia. It is very severe and we are still doing the work up to see what is going on. My current iron level is 12. According to my lab sheet, normal is 35-155. In another source "A Manual of Laboratory Diagnost Tests" they say the normal range for iron is 42-135. So my thought is, if you are really nervous about this maybe you don't need such a mega dose. Or maybe you don't need it at all right now. If you do continue on the iron, consider adding vitamin C and B. It will help the iron absorption.
Hang in there,
Jerri
