Hi Beth, my first onc would not transfuse unless you were under 8 in your hemg. I did get under 8 twice and had to have transfusions. Are you eating lots of iron rich foods? Liver, raisins, red beef, enriched cereals, cream of wheat is good. I have worked at it and now have my hemg up to 12.4. My worse was when I was on Tasi. Good luck Beth, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 2/22/2011 9:09:36 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
HI Richard and anyone else who may answer this question....I have a question..I too am very iron deficient, ferritin at 5, hemoglobin at 10....no iron stores to draw from,...they are considering giving me iron infusions and I wondered how that worked for you, how much it helped, how quickly to see the results etc...I have heard mixed reviews...Iron pills, take a long time and constipate...and I already have that problem from the meds...Thanks.
