Anemia is common in people with cancer, especially in those receiving chemotherapy. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, an iron protein that carries oxygen to all parts of the body. If the level of red blood cells is too low, parts of the body do not get enough oxygen and cannot work properly. Most people with anemia feel tired or weak. The fatigue associated with anemia often lowers a person's quality of life and ability to cope with cancer and treatment side effects.
