Hi I'm 67 and have Iron deficiency anaemia. This showed on routine tests when I'd seen my GP about something totally unrelated.
I've seen a consultant and I'm having an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.
I'm a bit shell shocked as I went to the GP with something else and have no symptoms and obviously I'm very worried about the outcome,
I know what happens regarding the endoscopy as my husband has had them previously.
I wonder if anyone else had iron deficiency anaemia and ended up on this pathway
How prevalent is IDA with colon cancer?
Thanks
