  • Hello Irene1973

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had a positive FIT test and that you've been told you're also anaemic. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned about what may be the cause of these symptoms. 

    We know that for many people this period of uncertainty, waiting for more tests and information can be difficult. It's impossible to say what could be responsible for these symptoms but try to remain positive. 

    If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses for some advice and support you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any information they can to reassure you. 

    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your investigations and the team will be able to give you some good news soon. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
