Alice, this is very interesting, my husband has had transfusions since last Aug., we did use the frozen wheatgrass and his ferritin came down as well, he also takes ex-jade which he seems to tolerate once we arrived at an appropriate dosage.
He is finished his 2nd round of Vidaza and that seems to be working...it is 14 days since his last transfusion and his platelets are in the normal range.

I would still get him to take the wheatgrass but was concerned it might mess up the Vidaza.

From what I have read and understand from one his oncologists that the Vidaza along with the Revlimid seems to be working for some patients.
My husband was on Revlimid for 2 cycles and it did nothing, only lowered counts.
How our bodies respond so differently to the drugs.

Best of...to you and your spouse
