So my mum gave a stool sample on Monday and Thursday, today, got a call saying she needs to take some tests, Dr says it shouldn't stop her going overseas for 2 months, but that the tests should be done before she travels.
Evidently there was signs of blood in the stool, but that is all we know.
She has lost a fair amount of weight in the last few months, and did have a loss of appetite, but this has come back and she is hungry and eating but equally never worried as she does not eat a lot, only one meal a day and top it up with ensure, and has had some other issues, like hip infections, unable to walk much or even far, besides her long term health of various heart attacks, DVTs, hip replacements.
She recently had diarrhoea but that was a few times, but now stopped.
The Dr wants her to have either a CT scan, or a camera to go and have a look.
Is this all leading towards it being bowel cancer? Any thoughts would be appreciated, she has been a wreck since the call earlier!
We are already on the case to get the scan.
