frustrated....

Well the wheat grass had no effect on John's FE. It is seems to be stuck in the 400's for two years now and that's with bi-monthly phlebotomies. He only gets 250 removed. What's up with that! No more wheat grass for him.

May need to get a complete iron panel done. He had just eaten about 1/2 hour before the test. Not sure that it would have made that big a difference.

The good news.....his urine is clear!!!! 10 years out and no problems in the bladder from the cytoxan. His bladder bled for 6 months after treatment, so this is a relief to know that there was no blood in the urine.
