Hi all.  It's a year and a month since I had my bowel resection.   Last week I went to my GP for bloods, due to some stomach pain.  Apparently my iron is at 9, should I be concerned? This was the first symptom of my first diagnosis, but my iron was 4 then.  My GP didn't seem overly concerned and gave me iron tablets, although she has written to my surgeon regarding stomach ache.    

Trouble is I've gone into panic mode and i'm now thinking "reoccurrence", anyone experienced the same?

My CEA levels have remained the same, 4.

TIA
