Hi,

I have really bad pain when trying to goo to the toilet, when i haven't got diarrhea which is quite often.

i asked for test where i awaited my results

i heard nothing back until i went in again thinking it must be bad oiles or alike when the doctor called in, my Calprotectin result came back at 15000, i am now awaiting the hospital to contact me for urgent Crohn's test

I was then called back in days later to say they want me to have urgent Cancer Tests.

I don't know what to expect 

any advice?

  • A very warm welcome to the forum ShanePatt although I'm sorry to hear that urgent cancer tests have now been requested due to your calprotectin test result.

    I hope this information I've found that explains what an elevated test result means will help to ease your mind whilst you wait but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We have a lot of our members within our community that have been through this process, so you are not alone, and hopefully some of them will share their experiences and advice with you soon.

    We're sending you all our support ShanePatt and wishing you all the best with your upcoming tests.

    Kind regards,
