Michelle, This is a tough one for sure..What tests are they waiting results for? Bandy received epogen for 6 wks, and his anemia was non-regenerative...but you know what it worked..We did this before we ever saw the internal med specialist..his pcv went up rather fast considering things, too...it was around 20 and went to over 30 in less than 2 wks.. We stopped it after we saw the specialist as it had started back down again only to go up again on its own..So I am going to talk to his specialist and run all this by her to she what she has to say about how he responded to things we did until his passing..His ultimate fate was to be uncontrolable anemia and you know what...that wasn't what happened.. She did tell me that he could have developed antibodies to the epogen, but he didn't ..I think I remember them saying that could be stopped when you stop the epogen..Did they do a bone marrow aspirate to see what type of anemia she has..?? I think it is a retic count, too. This will tell about the type of anemia.. I don't know really whether you should start the epogen or not..???? I don't think the FOI would hurt though.. Guess you have tried all types of food, too..I am still just trying to figure out anything that might help her.. Keep us posted and you are in our prayers, Kerry, Angel Bandy and Inky
