Hi Brittany:
I was concerned about the same thing while I was in chemo. I did some research and I found studies that indicated that exercise (particularly impact exercise such as walking) increased people's ability to take chemo. Exercise stimulates the bones which manufactures blood cells.
I also made it a point to eat green leafy vegetables and red meat to make a natural source of iron available to the body. (Eating the pill concentrates can be difficult because it often causes stomach upset - it's sensitive enough due to the chemo!)
Good luck!
