I took some repeat blood and stool (FIT) tests last week, after the first round in November were completely negative.
Sadly, the FIT test has come back positive (63), so I’m now due to have a CT/Colostomy/Endscopy in two weeks time.,
However, when I took the blood tests I was told that the results would take 3 to 5 working days.
The next day, I was speaking to the nurse at the hospital over the phone.
She explicitly said that the results from the blood tests had not come in yet.
I now have a letter than was sent to my GP. It was timestamped exactly after we spoke.
However, on blood test results it had some letters, like Ferrentin followed by a =
I’m assuming that this was:
1. Just a list of the tests that were taken
2. Results that had come in normal
Rather than
3. Results that had come in abnormal
I’m assuming if the results had come in abnormal my GP would have rung me up asap (as he did when I got the FIT result), or else the letter would have specified how abnormal they were. Is this correct?
