This is a bit of a long and windy one. So I started off with some mucus for a week or two before the blood came in early Nov last year. I then caught a norovirus which left me firing several times an hour 24/7 with horrendous stomach pain for weeks. I was in agony and couldn't do anyrhing. I had had a couple of stool samples taken before catching norovirus where my FIT levels were 200 and my calprotectin levels were 1670. I went for a colonoscopy on the 2nd Dec and they couldn't proceed due to the inflammation. They did take biopsies which I still haven't recieved results for. I finally have an IBD appointment for the 20th Feb but no contact regarding another colonoscopy even though the doctor has sent a letter 2 weeks ago when I chased. I have had to repeat the samples for the IBD appointment and my FIT levels ar apparently at 6 but still awating results for the other. I have had a small amount of mucus after the 2nd samples were taken. Definitely still tired, bloated with some stomach discomfort and looser stools (not diarrhoea) I don't have an inflammatory diet, no sugar, little bread so don't understand how this could have occured.
My concern now is that with my FIT levels below the threshold I am unlikely to get a colonoscopy anytime soon. I am really concerned as my mums close friend has just lost her daughter to bowel cancer at 39 having complained for years of issues and was not given a full colonoscopy that would have saved her life. As a single mum to a 14month little girl I am very worried so would appreciate any info as to my situation.
Many thanks in advance!
