Since spring I have been anemic after chemo treatment for stage iv ovca. Get procrit shots, have had several red cell and platelet transfusions since May. Also take iron tablets 3x a day. My onoc will not give chemo if blood counts are low.
thanks so so so so much!
opinions and words of women from this site are sometimes more cheering than doctor's. She has just done 3rd surgery and I think it's due to blood she lost during it.
A big hug
I am a year out from chemotherapy and surgery for stage IV ovarian cancer and am still somewhat anemic.. I took injections once a week for months... 3 months after my surgery I need several blood transfusions and platelets to bring me back up... It is not uncommon... and has nothing to do with a reocuurence...
