Positive FIT & referral

Hi all,

I was hoping someone could share some information or experiences. I originally went to my dr as I thought I felt a lump, long story short they thought it was my gallbladder then after fit tests that came back high and abnormal.

Now im in the 2 week pathway and was expecting to get a letter for an appointment but I received a text that I am first getting a phone call can anyone explain why? I also had to fill out forms and one option was asking me what operation I was having.

Im confused and don't know what to expect. Ive had tummy problems for a while but they were getting worse, bad toilet moments, a lot of pains and bloating, etc basicly all cancer symptoms minus massive weight loss although I have lost some. 

Im only 32 and have 2 small boys, and the waiting and not understanding what is happening next is setting my brain in overdrive but trying to look cool calm and collected to the small few I have told.

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi CLou92,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. This sounds difficult and I'm sure the uncertainty about what's going on is tough.

    I'm not too sure why they have said you are getting a phone call first. I'm not sure if you've now had this phone call, but if not then I hope it's not long to wait for you to find out more.

    In the meantime you may find it helpful to speak to one of our nurses. If you'd like do to this you can either post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, or call freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
