I am no longer anemic! I follow up with the hematologist next week. Bloodwork looks good. Still a bit high ong RDW (has to do with red blood cell size), but heading down toward normal. I have a feeling he will have my PCP check iron level stuff every 3 months or so at least for awhile (they are part of the same system, can read labs from one another though I gave they both signed consents). I hope this infusion series got my iron up, and I won't have to do it again. Hopefully, I can absorb some iron and supplements (bother stomach though) and eating iron rich foods (though not liver, can't stand it) will help.
Fingers crossed
