I finished 28 IMRT on 12/29/03. Prior to radiation treatments blood tests showed I was anemic (blood loss from surgery), so I had a blood transfusion (2 units) and had epigene (sp?) shots almost weekly to help keep my blood counts up.
The blood transfusion helped immediately with energy level. Now, I am trying to remember to take iron tablets.
also anti-depression med may help. Glad to hear he's heading the the doctor - good luck!
