I’ve been feeling really wiped out over the last 6 weeks or so. I started Capecitabine in the last few days and had additional bloods done in advance of this - iron B12 and folate. So far I’ve heard hemoglobin is 'borderline’ at 90. Anyone else experienced this? How is it treated?
Hi Daisy,
My wife had low haemoglobin which left her exhausted. The treatment is a blood transfusion, and it quickly had her feeling better.
Cheers,
Andy
Thanks. They’ve been in touch and for transfusion tomorrow
Great news Daisy! Hopefully you'll be feeling much better soon!
