== == No, anemia is just the term for low iron in your blood. While it's not a healthy condition, it doesn't cause cancer. Diet can help anemia, eating foods high in iron like meat, or if your vegetarian, certain beans and other non-meat foods.

Anemia is a condition in which a person has too few red blood cells. It can be caused by cancer, but there are other more common causes, including poor diet and iron deficiency. In any case, it should be treated by a doctor.

Yes, but there are many more common causes of anaemia than Cancer.

You could have idiopathic anaemia, have suffered a large bleed, pancytopaenia or simply have insufficient iron in your diet.

I would advise speaking to the Doctor Who diagnosed you with anaemia
