A doctor told me today that characteristic of cancer is anemia.
I still have a hard time believing cancer has symptoms of itself, but tiredness was also explained to me as a symptom of sarcoma, i.e. was caused by the sarcoma.
Because the anemia was a result of the cancer not of the pleural effusion, there is no reason to get the blood thing taken of exactly today as opposed to doing it later in the week, or even next week.
