My dad is 70yrs old and was diagnosed with ca of prostate in 2007. Surgery was done to remove the testicals in order to reduce the production of testosterone. From bone biopsy we found that it has spread to bones and chemo was done for 2 cycles out of 3. the last one could not be completed because of severe side effects
His hb keeps reducing every 3-4 months and he requires transfusion. Is there a way to avoid this and increase the hb naturally? He eats a very healthy diet rick in iron but effect of Hb is slow
