Mseth,
For me, 1000mcg Folic acid daily, Stress B complex, Vitamin D3 (2500iu) in droplets every other day (for Platelets), and Gluten free diet helped me tremendously over a short period of time...
But you have to realize I am young (45) and completely healthy otherwise...
Code:
Component Standard Range 6/14 6/19 7/18 7/30
RDW-CV 11.6-14.4 % 18.1 18.1 16.1 15.1
RDW-SD 35.1-43.9 fl 59.1 58.1 51.5 48.1
HGB 13.7-17.5 g/dl 8.0 9.1 11.0 11.0
HCT 40-51 % 23.3 26.0 31.7 32.4
PLT 150-400 K/ul 70 76 95 91
RBC 4.63-6.08 M/uL 2.57 2.91 3.56 3.64
WBC 4.2-9.1 k/ul 2.0 1.9 3.2 3.5
NEUT% 34-68 % 46 48 53 62
NEUT 1.8-9.0 K/uL 1.0 0.9 1.7 2.2
This was from diagnosis to before my first round of chemo dacogen...
Everyone is obviously different, because it worked for me doesn't necessarily mean it will work for your mom...
Best of luck to you and your mom, and may God bless you both...
