Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic.

I dont think this is related to your previous cancer treatment¸altough sometime radiation may cause mucositis but only if stomach is radiates.

If you ask me, this may be separrated disorder and usually is seen in stomach ulcer, gastritis or ulcerations and erosions so you should definitely do gastroscopy to evaluate this more accurately. It may be treated endoscopically as well.
If there is active bleeding then iron supplements wont be sufficient to treat the cause. You should also take pantoprasol and avoid irritative food such as coffee, alcohol, smoking and spicy food.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
