Colon cancer and severe anemia

Hiya my grandpa ( 88years old ) has severe anemia and have been told he may have colon cancer back. I'm wondering if any one has experienced this before. 

He has been given iron tablets to take and going for another blood test in May. He has dementia so it's hard to ask him about his stools and he hallucination is seeing my nana that died last July. 

 

  • Hello Charlie1705

    I'm sorry to hear that your Grandpa has some health concerns at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about this particularly having lost your Nana last summer. 

    It's good to hear that the GP is following this up and hopefully things will have improved by his next appointment. 

    If you'd like to talk to one of our nurses about your concerns and worries then you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer andy information, advice and support that they can. 

    Best wishes,
