Hello All,
I am really anxious at the minute and would like to hear of other's experiences. I have had bleeding usually with a BM for about 6 weeks, I also have had change in bowel habit - very loose and going 4 or 5 times a day which is definitely not like me. The blood is red and not huge amounts. Also quite a lot of wind but no abdominal pain. Had bloods done and they were normal but my q FIT had a reading of over 400. Dr said she didn't know exact figure, just that it was above 400. I am now being sent for a colonoscopy and I am worried sick as I have googled a lot and expecting the worst. Dr says it is 10% chance of colon cancer or 50 % chance of a serious intestional condition. The dr seemed quite concerned which worried me. I was told I would be red flagged and get an appointment within 3 to 4 weeks for the colonoscopy. This will be a long wait. I am female and 53.
