I can hardly imagine that. How tedious! That must be as frustrating as anemia! Our bodies are so delicate and subject to much frailty for a number of reasons. I hoping that this is manageable, but I suspect there are unwanted effects of having too much iron.
Yes, the cancer and anemia appear to be linked in some fashion. I’m not quite sure how.
A few years ago, my grand daughter’s appearance kept getting worse looking. Dark under her eyes, bad skin color, and always tired. Then I noticed she was always eating ice. So I asked her if she craved ice or just liked eating it because there were no calories. She said she craved it. I bought her some vitamins with some iron and told her parents they needed to take her to the doctor because she had anemia.
Well, one day her mom was at work and asked me if I could take her to the doctor because she was sick, probably flu. I asked her if I could have him check for anemia while we were there, she said ok. They gave her emergency transfusions, she was in bad shape, from anemia. That’s why she was so sick that day.
