Last July I kept wanting to sit down shortly after starting any little bit of housework. I assumed I was depressed, even though I really didn't feel despondent. Then I struggled to carry a few groceries in from the car and had to rest before I could put them in the fridge. I went to the E.R. They found I was "critically" anemic. They ended up giving me a unit of packed red blood cells. What a difference that made! One of my symptoms for days beforehand had been nausea and sudden vomiting. (It seems being under-oxygenated can make you nauseated and needing to throw up.) Six months prior, my bloodwork was all fine. Things can change a lot in a short while.

Hope you feel better. Currently, I'm doing pretty okay.
I see doctors all the time and I get blood work done regularly and I am showing a lot of symptoms of what hes telling me I have and I have the blood work too that shows it. But yeah theres still other things that can be the cause of it besides cancer like anemia. He just doesn't have a filter sometimes.

I'm glad you are ok right now.
