Is there any one out there who developed borderline anemia from taking Firmagon or Lupron?

Anemia was not one of the side effects that was mentioned or tracked when I was on Lupron.

Yes, I do IHT, but when I am on the HT (Casodex and Lupron) I do get VERY slight borderline anemia. Dr. Lam has not been too concerned.

I'm on Zoladex now, Eligard before that and have developed
borderline anemia. My docs did not seem too concerned. Hopefully
it goes away when my HT ends with a July '17 shot.

Yes.
And it has gotten somewhat worse with adding the Xtandi on top of the Lupron.

My GP has added some simple suplements.

My Onco is not terribly concerned, as my PSA is dropping a bit, and he knows my GP will follow it.
