I was given High dose iron infusions (IV) for cancer related anemia, no issues, I take iron now with my feeding tube through formula nutrition. No issues. I find that people need to check side effects online before every new treatment. Doctors and nurses tend to forget that info is important for us. It's like Just take it. Any problems go to the emergency room

Yep, seems little compassion is in med field today. Especially when we are “elderly”. Ageism is alive in oncology today.
Attitude is “so what, she’s dying anyway”.
This is as bad as they initial diagnosis!
