Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your hemoglobin is low. You should go for peripherals smear examination and search the cause and need treatment of that. You should continue your warfferin according to your doctor's advice. Your INR should remain in higher side. It will prevent further clotting. Take regular treatment. Don't worry about cancer. Its not there.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
