Test results

I have sent a poo sample off on 12th  April 24  to my gp. I also sent a cancer bowel  screening  test on 15th April 24. My results have come back stating the sample was taken on the 11th  April 24 ! and I could have bowel  cancer. I'm hoping it's a mistake  but if it is I worry about the person who's results these are for. What do you think.

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently needed to have some bowel screening tests done and that the returned results have given you cause for concern but with the possible diagnosis and also with the clerical errors. 

    Please do get in touch with your GP to raise these concerns as they will be best placed to investigate further and raise any issues with the screening programme if necessary. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait long for answers regarding your health and that the doctors can give you some reassurance.
