Hi I’m 32 and over the last 6 months I’ve got worse and worse I’ve had diarrhoea for about 13 weeks now no blood but mucus only got a couple weeks to wait but it’s driving my anxiety up the wall I’ looked into it a lot and it’s saying this is a bad result I’m constantly having flare ups and am sleeping a lot at the moment it also feels like it’s affecting my brain as I’m forgetting everythin at the moment!! Would appreciate it if anyone could give me some reassurance that it maybe isn’t that  thanks 

  • Hi Reeceyy and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear about your faecal calprotectin result and for the worry this is causing.

    Quite a few of our members have had high faecal calprotectin results too, so you are not alone Reeceyy, and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice.

    Waiting for news is tough, so if it would help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very knowledgeable and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    Do let us know how you get on. We'll be thinking of you and have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
