Hi all

I am a 43 yr old and about 3 months ago after suffering 3 UTI's I saw a urologist. I had bloods and various tests. He was concerned as my heamaglobin levels were very low.

Since then the GP repeated tests and still low. They said it's down to heavy periods.

for the last 10 weeks I have been really poorly with a terrible cough and high resting heart rate. (To the point I passed out) 

GP wouldn't see me as I have a cough, so sent me to see a cardiologist... all ECG etc came back ok.

forward to last week... still coughing and very weak I demanded my GP see me in person. Finally a dr that was just helping the surgery for the day said he will see me.

He said we need to look at everything as a whole and was concerned. He ordered more bloods and a FIT test.

i got a call at 8.30pm from dr to say it's positive and need further investigations. I am due to fly to America to see my brother and new nieces ( after not being able to for 2 years)

Is it safe to fly? Trying to find a private dr today, to find out if I should still go away?

I am so scared of what is really going on, and actually a big hug from my brother is all I want right now

sorry I'm not very good at writing and babble a lot
