suspected colon cancer

Recent blood tests are showing low calcium and anaemia. A stool test has show I have blood in my poo but it is not visible.I’ve been experiencing gas, abdominal and lower back pain, and low appetite. I have to get repeat blood and stool tests tomorrow which I’m nervous about. Does it sound like it might be CC?

  • Hello Sunnydaze92 and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry to hear about the recent findings of your blood and stool tests and that they need to be repeated. 

    I hope everything went well yesterday but if you have any further questions or would just like to talk things through with someone then do give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phones lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to support you and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    I know having these symptoms and current outcomes must be very scary but we are here for you and I'm sure some of our members who have been in a similar situation will stop by when they can to share their experiences and advice.

    We're thinking of you Sunnydaze92 and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
