Hemoglobin today was 89, which is higher than before but still much lower than the normal range of 120-160. Lovely NP says it can take months of iron supplementation to bring it back up after chemo ends. Continue taking the iron supplements until I've reached 90-days.\n

If I experience any delayed neuropathy I should contact Lovely NP\n
