Wow thanks so much for your reply Greg! I really appreciate your insights!
I'm definitely not taking any zinc at all, and because of the last three years of having cancer I have had my iron, ferritin and such tested, although it's been about a year and a half since the last time, and all was normal. I guess that could change though.
Question, can low iron cause the low white/anc/alc counts as well as the rbc/hgb/hct? I'm slightly confused about that one...
Unfortunately my gut is usually right about this stuff, and it's telling me now that I think there's a good possibility the chemo that was supposed to help me live may have caused me harm.
Oh, as for that BMB, yes, I'm kind of figuring I might need one of those.... wondering if I should ask for sedation? I have a high threshold for pain usually, and although I'm like a human pin cushion these days, it just doesn't sound like something I want to be awake for. Any input on that?
Thanks again!
Vicki
