2WW Bowel Cancer referral (FIT result >200)

Hello,

I posted on here back in June (I think) about a 2WW suspected melanoma referral. Thank you to the person who replied to me and I’m sorry I didn’t reply back. I had the mole biopsied and it came back as dysplastic but otherwise normal.

Unfortunately, I have been having problems with abdominal pain and nausea recently (nothing new but has gotten significantly worse since January) alongside some blood in my stool. After going back-and-forth to my GP over the course of this year, they carried out a FIT test which came back as over 200 :(

I am now waiting to be seen at my local hospital at the Urgent Suspected Cancer Lower GI clinic. I’m quite anxious as to what this entails. Please can anyone give insight as to what may happen at this appointment? 

I’m only 24 so I’m hoping that the cause of my issues is something benign and easily treatable, but I can’t help but worry :(

    Hi Jezzyfish, I’m not much help but I had a fit test that came back positive so under the 2ww for a colonoscopy and that’s happening tomorrow, in 2 hours I have to drink the bowel prep, if yours is under the 2ww I’d have thought you’d hear very soon and im guessing it would involve a colonoscopy but as I said it’s only a guess. I do hope you hear soon as the waiting is awful. Good luck xx

    Hi Sue,

    How did your colonoscopy go? I’ve my own colonoscopy tomorrow and am already feeling the effects of the bowel prep I took just over an hour ago. Definitely not pleasant but hoping the scope will answer some questions. I hope everything is well with you xx

    Hi jezzyfish, yes I had my colonoscopy on the 16th and luckily everything was ok, they took a polyp off but said it looked ok, sent away for  biopsy. I got on ok with the bowel prep but the colonoscopy was very painful. I think you should have had yours done by now, how did you get on? Hope everything was ok. Take care xxx
