Hi. I'm new here. My husband had a rectal bleed recemtly. He had been constipated quite a bit beforehand and had strained a lot the day before the bleed happened. Went to his GP. She examined him, diagnosed an anal fissure, ordered blood tests and sent him a FIT test. Results of FIT came back on Monday as +VE >90. GP has referred him to the colorectal department for further tests. He went for his blood test this morning but he hadn't drank enough so the nurse couldn't get any bloods. Has to go back on Friday. They have told him that if they can't get any blood on Friday, that his referral will be cancelled. Worried sick about the whole thing. Wish he wasn't going through this. We are absolutely terrified of it being cancer. I don't understand why they would cancel his referral if they can't get any blood. Why would they do this? Can anyone relate?
