I wonder the same thing. I have always been anemic too.

I became anemic during both my treatments. I had a recurrence towards the end of my first treatment (AC+Herceptin), then did Taxol/Herceptin. During both treatments my RBC was low enough that I got Procrit shots.

My red counts have always been mildly anemic so yes, I wonder about the recurrence too. Plus I had four shots of aranesp that I really shouldn't have gotten now that the latest studies have been released. I guess you never know. Did any of you get aranesp or procrit?

I might have gotten aranesp shots as well as procrit shots. What studies are you referring to? It's scary to read about the Heparin shots causing death after 2 years of taking Heparin!
