Anyone still anemic?
Its been over a year since I finished chemo and 6 months since I finished Herceptin and my RBC are still a little low (11.7) normal is 12. I was at 12 at the start of chemo which was 2 weeks after my mastecomy so fingure either 12 was my norm or a little lower from surgery. My Dr thought by now it would have returned to normal, she has checked my B12 and fentin levels and all are normal. My WBC is also about .2 points low. Dr thinks this just may be my new normal. My A type personality doesn't like not being within the normal.
Anyone else not return to normal levels or does it just take longer to eventually return?
