Hi doctor. My name is Lisa. My father has been diagnosed with anemia. For 3 weeks in a row now the blood work is showing a decrease in blood count. Mom wasn t positive on numbers but it was like three weeks ago the blood count number was 12 then 10 and last week it was 8. Doctors have already determined he is not losing blood. I hesitate to look on line for possible answers because of course google is gonna have dad diagnosed with cancer and in the grave in a matter of weeks. i am looking for honest answers
Hello.  Fall in hemoglobin from 12 to 8 in just 3 weeks is really worry some.  Either there has to be underlying cause for blood loss or body destroying RBCS.  According, to your say it seems you must have done thorough blood test, if not get it done along with stool and urine test. If no cause found may need to do bone Marrow study but it better to consult hematologist.  Till that give him nutritional supplements for iron and diet changes.
