Very informative. I would like to know about cancer due to radiation treatment for prostate cancer. That is, does cancer occur in the pelvis as a consequence of the radiation treatment for the prostate cancer?

i want to know more about low red cell in my blood and whats is the main problem
I have had a sort of low red blood count for years, could this be normal?
Please guide me about my problem. Iam Patient of 5-6 Red cells pass out in my Urine. I have still not found any Doctor, who will provide me a better treatment. I have been pass 2 years. Kindly provide to me the treetment.
My sons doctor recently told me his red blood cell count was low. However your post only informs you of cancer therapy & anemia that would be causes to low red blood count. My son has been checked and is not anemic. He also has not had any cancer therapy or treatment at all.
what if you dont have cancer but your rbc and wbc are low due to a kidney infection and now does not have the infection but the rbc and wbc are low, what else should one due.
my daughter continues to have low red blood cell count---8.0. She had blood that pooled around her heart and the cardio surgeon drain it but she still has low red blood cell count. It's been over a month now and she is taking mega doses of iron but no changel. She had Hodgins disease 20 years ago and they did biopsies while she was in the hospital recently but supposedly didn't find anything --also full CAT scan. I'm scared for her. She is in the Army so I worry about the quality of med attention she is getting. What can she do to get her RBC count up???
