Tammy, after fixing, try soaking the film for 5 minutes in a solution made up of 20 grams sodium sulfite plus 5 grams of sodium bisulfite (or metabisulfite) dissolved in 1 liter of water.

This is a home-made Hypo Clearing Bath and I have found it quite effective in getting the pink and/or purple out.
