Good morning all,
I would really appreciate some advice and suggestions.
I've had a right hemi-colectomy and six months of chemo. On-going surveillance revealed that my Ferratin levels are really low and I need supplements. Specialist nurses informed my GP who has prescribed high dose iron tablets but friends and family are scaring me with horror stories of stomach issues and severe constipation. My digestive system is so sensitive after everything. I'm really confused. What do you all think? Anybody else had the same dilemma?
Many thanks.
Karen
