Thanks Cheyrl. That's what I thought. Blood tranfusions are not usually given until the blood, I go by the hemaglobin goes under 8, and is now 10.7, up from 9.2 a few weeks ago. The Lowestbwas 6.2 once, and tjouhtbi wad dying andbprobaly would have withoutvavtrnsfusion.I'm going to ask my oncologist when I go or my first Erbitux infusion on Tuesday, if I can get a boost..athletes do it, called blood doping lol. My levels will drop more quickly, due to the Chemo and radiation, being ocidstive, which happened before, and hate to wait until it drops. I'll post why happens. Like you mentined before, diet may help, and going to get those Beets and greens out!
