My mother had colon cancer 10 months ago and is suffering from anemia. Hemoglobin 8.4 this week, up from 7 last week. She recently had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, CT scan, and blood work. All tests came back negative. However, she s always tired, fatigued, very pale, and dizzy. Does this mean her risk of cancer coming back is greater? She had a blood transfusion post-op and anemia pre-op. She has had a few iron transfusions since surgery last year. Her B-12 and Vitamin D are in the normal range, however have been known to go low sometimes. My father and I are very concerned about the anemia because I ve read that it can impact your heart, brain and lungs. She also has shown signs of dementia for the last 7 years. She s 74 years old. In your opinion, what should we do that we haven t already done and is there a medication for anemia other than iron transfusions and diet? Thanks.
