Folate level & B12
Anyone have a high folate level? B12 was in normal range, I'm 6 week post treatments.

Hi...I was just the opposite. When first diagnosed my folate level was very low and I had severe anemia as a result...it stayed low for a couple months post treatment and then gradually bounced back up. Folate (folic acid) is part of the Vitamin B family so it makes sense that yours may be high if you are starting to eat healthy again. I've never heard of someones folate being too high and causing a problem (though I'm no doctor) but rather its a sign of healing and that your immune system is on the rebound in the right direction!

Folate
I'm still taking prescription Folate after one year post treatment. I don't know if it helps or not, but I'll keep taking it because it can't hurt.
