Subject: Lab results
Hi Chad,
I got all your lab tests back and the results really point to iron deficiency anemia from your vegetarian, low iron diet. Take iron supplements along with vitamin C and try to increase your intake of iron containing foods in general. Let’s recheck your CBC in about 2 months.
AKA - I don’t have cancer or a handful of other terrible horrible things I had to walk around yesterday thinking I could possibly have! True, I’ll have to change my diet quite a bit, and anemia is not wonderful, but that’s nothing compared to what it could have been! Thanks for all the warm thoughts and wishes yesterday - they really meant quite a lot to me.

That’s great news! Most kinds of greens (spinach, collard greens) and broccoli are loaded with iron, plus they’re yummy.
