Livia,
First you need to find out from your doctor if you
have iron deficiency anemia or chemotherapy related anemia. I suspect it's
the latter. In which case you'll probably need procrit shots which is what
I take. I also take 3 iron pills a day but supplements and nutrition will
not make up for the anemia caused by Gleevec (IM).
Sorry about that.

Subject: [CML] I am anemic
Hi,
My doctor called me yesterday, that I am anemic and I should get some
injections to not be so tired. I
realized that I couldnt run and work out for the last 3 days, but I did not
know what is the cause, I just prefer to not THINK about it. : )
I think it is pretty common to be anemic while taking Gleevec but I
would like to improve it by food or another supplements, NOT injections.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Livia
Dx 02/05
600 mg Gleevec
