I've had haemorrhoids for about 15 years and am used to passing a little blood, noticed when wiping. Recently, I've been feeling shattered all the time, I've had abdominal pain and low ferritin levels. I've also noticed my blood loss increase with a little mucose. I suffer from constipation as I take opioid pain killers for a spinal issue. The colours of the blood is both bright amd dark red.
My gp asked me to take FIT test. I returned it via post and 4 days later was called in to see my GP. She explaimed my FIT test was over 770 when they usually will refer a person if its over 10, so it's significantly high.
I'm terribly worried. I'm awaiting the hospital contacting me to review the matter further as a matter of urgency. I'm 45 and single widowed parent. My anxiety has crept up and I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.
Will I definitely need to wait 2 weeks or is there a chance they will see me sooner due the elevated result? I could do with knowing either way.
Thank you and I hope everyone else has good news. Its the not knowing that makes it most difficult.
