What Is The Cause Of The Decrease In The Blood Level And The Leg Pain With Colon Cancer?

Hi doc, my grand mom (aged-71) was suffering from colon cancer so she has gone for surgery 4 yrs back. But now our cancer specialist says that the disease is spreading again because she gets ill very frequently and suggests us to go for chemotherapy. Also my grand mom is anemic, her hemoglobin was only 4gms (on 20/2/2014) so doctor asked us to get 2 blood bottles of blood,and now again her hemoglobin level is very low. Also she has very sever pain in right leg. I just want to know that decrease in blood level and this pain in right leg are all because of the spread of this disease again Medicines: Dompan, Norpher, Oropher, Ivaset, Bio D3 Plus, Storvas 20. Also she consumes disprin for pain relief

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The first thing to be done is the starting of chemotherapy, for cancer. With this if there is remission she can have improvement in the anemia. If the structural remission is there can control the pain in the right leg.
As there is invisible loss of blood, the infusion of blood may not be effective on long run.
take more of green leafy vegetables,pulses,sprouts, and protein rich foods to have good health and resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
