After chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment, she was later declared cancer free.
Taking to Instagram, Adele shared a new health update with her followers.
She posted in her story: "Having a blood test today for my anaemia.
"Hopefully this one will go well and I will get more medication.
"We're not sure why my iron count is low... either damage to my blood from chemo or due to having a stoma.
"Without my medication I have no energy. I'm not running at the moment and I'm so tired all the time.
"Hopefully I'll get some more medicine once my GP has seen today's results... otherwise I'm going to be consistently falling asleep until I die."
Adele first suffered cancer symptoms on I'm A Celebrity in 2019, although she was not diagnosed until 2021.
The DJ previously told the Monday Mile podcast about how chemotherapy removed her fingerprints.
Adele said at the time: 'Chemotherapy is different with every single person. 'And with me, it really affected my skin.

'So it took my fingerprints off. I couldn't use my fingers, I couldn't use touch screens, I couldn't use my phone, self-checkouts, things like that.
'It really damaged the bottom of my feet - it looked like they'd been burnt or something like that.
'It also turned my tongue black. I had these black spots on my tongue.'
The radio presenter now lives with a stoma bag, which she has named Audrey.
Last year, Adele revealed the real reason why she hasn't married her partner of 20 years.
What are the red flag warning signs of bowel cancer?
IT'S the fourth most common cancer in the UK, the second deadliest - yet bowel cancer can be cured, if you catch it early enough.
While screening is one way of ensuring early diagnosis, there are things everyone can do to reduce their risk of the deadly disease.
Being aware of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer, spotting any changes and checking with your GP can prove a life-saver.
If you notice any of the signs, don't be embarrassed and don't ignore them. Doctors are used to seeing lots of patients with bowel problems.
The five red-flag symptoms of bowel cancer include: Bleeding from the back passage, or blood in your poo
A change in your normal toilet habits - going more frequently for example
Pain or a lump in your tummy
Extreme tiredness
Losing weight
Tumours in the bowel typically bleed, which can cause a shortage of red blood cells, known as anaemia. It can cause tiredness and sometimes breathlessness.
In some cases bowel cancer can block the bowel, this is known as a bowel obstruction.
Other signs include: Gripping pains in the abdomen
Feeling bloated
Constipation and being unable to pass wind
Being sick
Feeling like you need to strain - like doing a number two - but after you've been to the loo
While these are all signs to watch out for, experts warn the most serious is noticing blood in your stools.
But, they warn it can prove tricky for doctors to diagnose the disease, because in most cases these symptoms will be a sign of a less serious disease.
The star admitted her concerns when quizzed about what she might wear if they were to marry Kate Holderness, who she has been in a relationship with since 2004.
Adele said: "This is the reason I've not got married, because I don't know what to wear - I'm being serious. Clothes really overwhelm me.
"Kate has to pick her moments when she takes me shopping because I just get really overwhelmed with choice.
"And so if you came to my house you'd see Kate's rail - which is like beautiful and it's all the colours of the rainbow - and mine is just black, black, black, black, black - and maybe one white top."

Four key signs of ‘dementia' in dogs affecting one in three pets
Four key signs of 'dementia' in dogs affecting one in three pets While there is no cure for this progressive condition, there are therapies available to help improve your pet's quality of life. Dogs can experience something called canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome, which is similar to dementia (Image: Getty ) Experts have shared four key signs of 'dementia' in dogs that is thought to affects around a third of pooches by the age of 11. These symptoms could mean your pet has canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome, a condition related to the ageing of a dog's brain. Also known as CCD or CDS, this condition is often compared to dementia or Alzheimer's in humans. It leads to changes in awareness, deficits in learning and memory, and decreased responsiveness to stimuli. According to experts at Pet MD, the symptoms of CCD often start mild and get progressively worse, similar to the effects of dementia. They said: 'Although the initial symptoms of the disorder are mild, they gradually worsen over time, beyond what can be expected with normal ageing. 'These pets experience 'cognitive decline', which is the slow decrease in the brain's ability to perform normal tasks. In fact, clinical signs of cognitive dysfunction syndrome are found in nearly one in three dogs over the age of 11, and by the age of 16, nearly all dogs display at least one sign.' While there is no cure for CCD, there are therapies available to ensure your pet has the best quality of life possible. Therefore, getting diagnosed sooner rather than later is important. Pet MD listed four of the 'most common' symptoms of dementia in dogs. These are: Disorientation/confusion Changes in behaviour Anxiety/restlessness/impaired memory Changes in sleep cycle Disorientation or confusion caused by CCD might translate as getting stuck going around objects, not recognising familiar people or pets, staring blankly at walls, and pacing. Whereas changes in behaviour can be spotted in extreme irritability, decreased desire to play, excessive licking, lack of self-grooming, or loss of appetite. Anxiety, restlessness and an impaired memory could lead to seeming disregard for previously learned training or house rules, your pet being slow to learn new tasks, an inability to follow familiar routes, and faecal and urinary soiling in the home. Signs of changes in sleep cycle can include night waking, night vocalisation, and night pacing. If you think your dog is displaying signs of CCD you should speak to your vet. Charity PDSA says: 'Contact your vet if you've noticed changes in your dog's behaviour because symptoms of cognitive dysfunction usually get worse with time.' The exact causes of CCD are not known, but it is thought many of the same changes that cause problems as people age are likely to also cause problems as our pets age. How to care for a dog with CCD 'Dogs with canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome require lifelong therapy and support,' Pet MD says. 'While there is no cure, there are several things that you can do at home to help your dog's cognitive functions.' Article continues below These include: Maintaining a healthy and stimulating environment including daily routine of exercise, play and mental stimulation Maintaining a strict routine Making your home more accessible and safer Night lights can help your senior dog navigate in the dark Potty pads near doors give your pup a place to go if they can't make it until you come home or wake up Orthopaedic foam beds (with washable covers) can make sleep more comfortable Your vet may also recommend medication and behavioural therapy, a special, balanced diet, supplements and anti-anxiety tablets.

Vet issues urgent message to anyone with a dog over 3 years old Vet Laura Londoño says by detecting issues early it can stop the disease from spreading Millions of people across the UK have at least one dog (Image: Paul Baggaley via Getty Images ) According to a veterinarian, if your dog is over three years old, you may want to check their teeth. The expert, Laura Londoño, warned that '80% of dogs over three years old have some form of dental disease" - and the vast majority of owners are unaware of this.

"That's why preventive veterinary checkups are so important, not just when there's already a problem. "Often, during a consultation, we notice things you haven't yet noticed, and by detecting them early, we can help stop the disease from progressing and give you the right instructions... before it's too late.' She urges owners to "check their [dogs] gums, breath, and if they have difficulty eating" to get them checked out. Stressing that "oral health is general health", she advises people who may not have a dog to inform those who do "so they can check their dog's teeth today." In further advice from the PDSA, they state that adult dogs have a total of 42 permanent teeth - 20 in the upper jaw and 22 in the lower jaw. Like humans, they first develop deciduous (milk or puppy) teeth, which are later replaced by their full set of adult teeth, typically by around six months of age. What causes dental disease in dogs?
