Oh Jennifer, you must be so scared and upset. And I bet Joy is too. Has her onc said that this is definitely cancer related? Because it sounds to me as if there could be other causes. Has she had a second opinion? And I agree with Maryanne: ask the onc whether or not he has given up. If so, get another doc to check her out. I think it would be good for Joy to know where she stands. Not knowing can be more scary than knowing it's bad for certain.

I hope she feels better soon or that at least her Hgb goes up. A low Hgb like that makes one feel very weak. I had low Hgb during both pregnancies and I felt awful. Couldn't manage to have a shower without wanting to sit down on the floor and never get up again.

Hugs

Jacqueline
