Q: i am being referred to oncology after not responding to b-12 injections and blood levels keep dropping. should i be concerned? i am unable to absorb vit and minerals well since short gut syndrome?

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, as planned. A hematologist/oncologist is the appropriate specialist and it does not mean that you have cancer. Wish you good health!
