High ferritin breast cancer

Got results from blood tests showing high ferritin levels.I had surgery & radiotherapy for lobular breast cancer last year . 

blood results were rather a shock , just text from GP , make an appointment . I don't  fit any of the risk factors , definitely not high blood iron levels , apart from breast cancer , which is associated with high ferritin levels .

has any one else had similar experiences ? What blood tests did you have next ? 

 

 

  • Hello BD29

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some health concerns following your treatment for breast cancer last year. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    It's good to hear that you already have a GP appointment booked and hopefully they will be able to give you some reassurance about things when you see them. 

    If you'd like to chat things through with one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
