hi coni,
my 61 year old mother was diagnosed in september 2004 and has gone through countless rounds of every chemo treatment available...every round we panic for a second about 1/2 way through because she just seems to get slower and slower...not getting back on her feet as she had the first few sessions.
my impression is that the deeper into treatment you are, the more of the chemicals you have built up in your system...you have to remember, chemo is poison. your body doesn't flush it out like it would any other substance. i don't necessarily have anything medical to back it up but it's happened often enough that i'm sticking by my theory of chemo build up and bog down.
i would not worry about it too much but of course mention it to the dr as he may need a blood transfusion or the red blood cell helper (aerenesp?... sp?).
best of luck, stay strong.
katie
