My wife is 57 and suffering from breast cancer. She is having chemotherapy every 3 weeks and third chemo was on 08 Jul 16. Her haemoglobin before start of chemo was 8.7 and would have now gone way down. How do I get her Hb up in next 10 days?

Give her healthy food rich in iron, etc, like spinach, green leafy vegetables, beetroot, carrots. Her doctor can also start her on iron suplements in tablet form or syrup available.

This decision should be taken by treating oncologist, I think you should show her to dm medical oncologist, so he will have good decision for that.
