Question : I am being treated for uterine cancer. I have had two sessions of chemo. I have been bleeding for six months. This morning it has been heavier then usual but has slacked off a little. I am very light-headed this morning, but was fine last night. Do I need to go to the emergency room?

Detailed Answer:
thank you for sending the question.

I think since you have developed significant lightheadedness that you should report to the emergency room for immediate evaluation. In a short period of time they can do some testing to see if you have severe anemia which might explain some of your symptoms.

since you have been experiencing intermittent bleeding it is possible that you may have severe anemia. For this reason I think if I Wishon and the birds your room is appropriate.

Thank you again for sending your question.

Could you resend the last sentence? It doesn't make sense: "For this reason I think if I Wishon and the birds your room is appropriate."

Thank-you!
