  • Hello Cat55

    I'm sorry to hear that you have several ongoing health problems and that on top of those you've recently been passing some blood. It's understandable that you're feeling worried about things. 

    It sounds like it might be a good idea to get back in touch with your GP and make an appointment to talk things through with them again. Hopefully they will be able to give you some reassurance and explain what the next steps may be in finding out the cause of this bleeding. 

    If you'd like to chat with one of our nurses for some advice and support you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that you have some answer soon Cat55. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
    Jenn
