Hi Ann, Here's my limited knowledge of anemia. My husbans is on his 5th cycle of chemo ( lymph node involvement) He recieves Aranesp injections every other week. These can be given every other week , every third week or every week. IT is important to know his hemoglobin count it should be above 10 below this our oncologist does transfusions. You can keep track of these and symptoms on
www.Caring4Cancer.com. Heres the tips on sympton improvement.
Iron Supplements
eat small meals of red meat and leafy veg every 2 to 4 hours
10 to 30 min a day of exercise
short naps
This all sounds easy huh well its not went they say their so tired they can't wake up. In our case no transfusions. The cells start to reproduce quicker after chemo has stopped ( oncologist statement) Hope your husband is feeling better and I wish him the best of luck. My husband tells everyone " Cancers like Christmas your never sure what you'll get in the next box."
Best of luck, Debbie
