Re: Need help-hemo dropped and trial postponed
Meo,
That is unexpected. Are you having symptoms? Paleness, Fatigue, shortness of breath? Do you have dark or bloody stool?
Absolutely shocked that your oncologist didn't jump right on this. Hope your GP takes good care in finding the cause.
Anemia can be caused in different ways. Productions issues can be due to deficiencies such as iron, or enzymes in the heme pathway. Hemoglobin can be destroyed in the body or you can have an actual blood loss such as an ulcer.
I hope you find out what is going on soon and it is only a minor setback.
