My hematologist thought the high copper was due to low iron, but my iron numbers are all great after 5 months of increased intake and my copper hasn't budged at all.

So frustrating.

And we found out today that my dad has a cancerous mass in his head. So I'm up in PA until at least Monday to help out.

I'm sorry about your dad. Hopefully he will be fine with surgery. A very close friend and an attorney acquaintance of mine both recently had tumors removed from brain. Both are doing very well. I would suggest trying chlorophyll liquid or caps for the copper. See if that helps at all.
