Thanks for everyone's comments.

Marlene, Procrit does nothing for me. I've had B12 and folate checked. In 2010, my B12 was actually high (1288 pg/mL, ref range 180-914). That's interesting about the B. I wasn't supplementing B. But had just come out of six months of chemo, so am not sure whether that might have messed up metabolism. Folate was 4.4 ng/mL (ref > 3.0). Vit D fluctuates, in 2008 it was quite low but I take a supplement now. Never had zinc or copper tested. Could high B12 cause such severe anemia?

Anyone: I am wondering what type of chelation is the most effective? And could imaging (MRI or whatever) as a diagnostic tool potentially change the decision as to type of chelation one gets?
