Suggest Supplements For Cancer Patients With Anemia
Hi, My mum is a cancer patient, she is on pemetrexed, a chemo given every 3 week. She is so anemic. Very pale and week. They did once give her two pints of blood. Can you suggest any other supplemens to help her? Apart from the health shop Iron and B vitimins and Vit etc?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you can start anti oxidant tablets.
Give her iron reach food like green leafy vegetables, jaggery, sugar cane etc.
Another alternative to blood transfusion is injection iron sucrose.
You can also start it.
Just check weather she is bleeding from anywhere. If yes than we need to stop it.
