Zytiga working but

My zytiga seems to be working. In one year PSA has gone from 1230 to 0.48. Alk Phos from 782 to 106. Now tests are showing low RBC and low hemoglobin, they suspect blood loss somewhere. Is drop in those counts normal with treatment?My zytiga seems to be working. In one year PSA has gone from 1230 to 0.48. Alk Phos from 782 to 106.
