A member asked:
Why might my iron continue to be low? have had iv iron 3 times and taken iron pills since 2012. my oncologist isn't sure what is causing it.

May need Hematologis: A Hematologist is a blood specialist who typically handles problems like the one you have. It may not be in the Oncologist's territory(they typically handle Cancer and related problems). Your problem appears to have nothing to do with cancer. So ask him/her to refer/send you to see a hematologist.
