    Hi all, 

    After posting regarding keydruda and stomach pains. I ended up at hospital I have had bloods done at my GP the reason was for due to the fact I am on treatment, going through menapause and a thyroid issue I wanted to know if I could check my calcium, magnesium due to in my family all the females have developed oestoporosis when going through change. I just want to help keep me strong for treatment and any other help with my other issues. I do eat as well has can be.i do have oesteoarthritis which I devoloped in my 20is.

    So results from bloods was my thyroid was still out so needed to go from 75mg to 100mg. My HB blood was on the low side gone down again from 115 to 96. So was concerned about anima. My stomach pains they think it's treatment related but my stools are very dark. Gone from one extreme to other in the last 3 weeks. I have had 12 rounds of keydruda and working well on last scans. I am concerned about the stomach and stool isues and anima . 

    Any one with similar issues advice and experience would be appriciated. I was sent home due to bloods ok despite HB falling again I believe if it goes lower then 60 would need blood transfusion only from what I have read. But until I really know what's defiantly causing it then we can treat it. Will be seeing my consultant Thursday and treatment schedule for following Monday.
