I've already mentioned on here that I've been experiencing bleeding for almost 3 weeks now. It suddenly became really heavy a few days ago and I ended up in a+e after calling the emergency chemo number for advice... they prescribed a clotting agent for a few days, but as I've been really light headed and having dizzy spells I spoke to the nurses at radiotherapy today and a doctor came to see me. They took bloods and to my shock, I now have to have a blood transfusion on Saturday - which I'm pretty scared about tbh.
The doctor told me that if my haemoglobin remains low, it will compromise the effects of the radiotherapy as not enough oxygen will be moving to the area. I just thought it was worth posting about in case anyone else has any similar symptoms. We all need our treatment to work the very best it can!
