ANAEMIA

Sorry to hear you are anaemic .   I’m sure as you recover things will return to normal .  I have suffered in a similar way and I ended up having 5 blood transfusions after my operation.   You will get there xxx

Thank you. Speaking to my GP later today 

That sounds like a plan . You take care xx

GP phoned, wants me to start iron tablets asap. Seeing Oncologist Monday for treatment plan so will discuss with him 

That’s good news . I was started in iron but they made me feel sick and gave me diarrhoea.  I think I will ring my GP tomorrow to see if there is any alternative as I feel my iron may still be low and need it to be normal ready for oncology xxx

There is a slow release version I had many years ago, which I tolerated. Not looking forward to starting them at all, expecting to feel nauseous tbh 

I may ask the doctors about the slow release one then so thanks . Your braver than me I gave up taking the ones I was prescribed by the hospital couldn’t put up with it on top of everything else .  Hope it’s not too bad for you though xxx

Thanks, time will tell. Just worried could delay my treatment starting if I don't at least try! 

Yea I feel the same about mine . I am seeing my oncologist on 28th so will see if I can get some that I can tolerate a bit more xxx
