Hi PaulB, thank you for the welcome. I have concerns regarding the Procrit injections since we don't know how his tumour has responded to the treatements. His Hemoglobin dropped from 11.4 to 6.5 within a week's time so the dr prescribed the transfusion which raised it up to 9.4. It's so difficult to know what direction to go. Eric has also received B12 twice but it hasn't helped him much beyond the first couple of hours.I'll post how he is doing and if we can determine how the Procrit helped or hindered his treatment. Thank you for the input! -k
