@skybolt My husbands RBC, Hemoglobin , Hematocrit….were all low …every week. The chemo doctor had to cut it down because it was too strong. Even though he drank 3 liters of water to get the Cisplatin and Gemcitabine out of his system…after the 4th treatment …it was too strong and the next 4 treatments were cut down a bit. Low RBC causes anemia, lack of oxygen to lungs…dizziness…My husband experienced that and told the doctor. Some even need transfusions. Once he’s done, his blood will all go back to normal in a couple of months. B 12 and red meat with orange juice helps absorb the iron. Spinach with orange juice is excellent also. Dwight’s doctor ordered a CT scan with contrast to see if the chemo killed it all. It did…but for my husband, the RC was 100% necessary because it was Stage 2 MIBC. Because the RC was robotic …he only has a few tiny cut scars. He would have done the neobladder…but hated the thought of catheterizing himself every night. The cystoscopy and when the urologist scraped out his bladder was worse than the RC because the catheter was so painful for him. My husband said your husband made it through the tough part & he’ll be just fine. God bless xx Photo is my husband and I out for dinner a week ago.
