Is your father getting Procrit shots as well as the Viadaza? My husband starts on his third round of Viadaza. The first time, he became even more anemic but after the second round and with transfusions of blood and platletes, he has been doing wonderfully for the past 3 weeks. He goes back Monday for his next Viadaza treatments. The first 2 shots of Procrit made him feel tired but not unwell, never really sick. These next shots have not had any effect on him. He is beginning to feel a little run down again, but when we go in Monday we will find out if he needs another transfusion. He also has congestive heart failure and emphysemea and is on oxygen.
