Does anyone have a loved one that has been diagnosed with cancer and suffers from chronic anemia because of it? My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and just isn't strong enough due to chronic anemia. We've had to stop the chemo because the blood levels just aren't high enough and therefore he's very weak and just sleeps all the time. He keeps having blood transfusions but they just don't keep his blood level up there very long. Has anyone had problems with this and can offer any help?
