Hello.  

I have spoken to my doctor and my qfit test has come back with significant amount of blood. She said cause of the amount of blood she’s changing it from general surgery to the bowel team now and it’s a priority urgent referral.  I spoke to the doctor again on Friday and she said I have an appointment now to see the consultant on the 30th.    

im not sure how to feel now that my qfit test has came back positive. I have a referral letter coming soon to let me know if it’s a meeting with a consultant or if it’s a test planned for the 30th April.
