3 hours agoI Had my second Infusion of Trastumzumab this week my Blood work looked ok WBC ok but my all My Red Blood counts are on the low side how low was all your Red blood counts like hemoglobin before you all received Blood transfusion I guess mine is not low enough yet and I am taking Iron pill daily was only taking 3 or 4 times a week but decided to increase to try to get my Red blood counts back up .I know some of our medication will cause Your WBC and RBC and platelets to go down but mine is ok just Red Blood Counts are all Low not off the chart low but hemoglobin was 10.Would appreciate any feedback on this when you all had to get Blood infusion.I do be fatigued and I have Adrenal Insufficiency as well and that causes fatigue.Thank you all and may God watch over us all .

3 hours agoYes, may God watch over all of us and heal us. What stage are you? I am HER2+, stage 4. (Originally stage 2 in 2017 with a return of it in 2022 as metastatic, or stage 4 ) My blood work is good, but I continue to fight off metastatic stage 4 "spots".
