Can anyone give any further insight into any relationship between anaemia & lymphoma ? Previous hospital said lymphoma was causing his anaemia needing blood transfusions - today, the new consultant has said that lymphoma does not cause anaemia & it can only be caused by either bleeding somewhere or malabsorbtion! Surely both can't be right ?
Hi again Modge sorry to hear about the continuing challenges you are having getting answers for your son.
I am no expert so for answers to questions like these my first port of call is the great information that can be found on the Lymphoma Action website. The information on the LA site is produced and checked by some of the top Haematologists in the UK.
Reading this link What is anaemia? suggests that there is a link between having Lymphoma and Anaemia specifically when Lymphoma is present in the Bone Marrow……. as I had at one point in time ((hugs))
