Faecal Calprotectin levels 2000

Hi all, I'm 28 years old. I've been going through lots of investigations after unintentionally losing 3 stone, constant nausea and frequent vomiting aswell as awful heartburn. Today I got my faecal calprotectin results as they are 2000.

 

I am absolutely terrified! I'm already on the two week cancer referral to gastro and my doctors are talking to me about my still sample results next week (I read them online) so of course I googled and I'm now so scared and worried. 

Is there any chance these results don't mean anything serious?

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Endojo although I'm sorry to hear about the symptoms you've been contending with and for the worry your faecal calprotectin results are causing.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had high results will share their thoughts, experiences and advice with you soon but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very helpful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    We're thinking of you Endojo and hope all goes well with your gastro referral and your doctors appointment next week.
