Fit test

Good afternoon all.

I already have stage 3b Melanoma and i and 3/4 through treatment of Dab and Tram.

My post is not about Melanoma though.

About 3 weeks ago my GP said I was anemic and my hemoglobin was down to 120 so asked me to do a fit test.

I did the fit test and it came back positive which he said was a low score i.e 30ug (means nothing to me).

Now I am going to have a Colonoscopy on the 18th November with sedation which I am really looking forward too as I have never had on before and just hear so many bad things about the procedure.

When I spoke to my oncologist for my melanoma about it, I asked her did anything show up on my thorax / Pelvis CT scan with contrast in August and she replied no it was all clear.

So now I am just hoping that in if I do have bowel cancer it will be early stages.

Can i adk if 30ug a low reading ?

Took me months to terms with my Melanoma diagnosis now I have this to worry about.

I don't think any of us signed up for this, did we

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Simon.

  • Hi 30 is definitely a low score it can go up into the high hundreds but the cut off is 10 for being ok so its best to get checked out ,Ive just had a Colonoscopy and they will tell you there and then if they see anything  that needs more checks so it is a good thing, I would just take this opportunity to take the test even if just for the future .
