A member asked:
Is there a relationship between red blood cell production and bone marrow cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The bone marrow is the factory of the blood - every blood cell begins life there. If the bone marrow is full of cancer, or weakened, there is not capacity or energy to produce enough red blood cells.
