Crp 220

My mum had routine blood tests this week. Doctor called her back in today. Liver and kidney all normal. But showed a crp of 220. Has had weight loss weakness fatigue and decreased appetite over last 2 weeks. Had a ct last year that showed bowel and womb thickening but mum wouldn't  go for further tests. Her blood sugar reading was 3. Gp doesnt think its infection as all other bloods ok. So she has 2 week cancer referral. We suspect its bowel womb or pancreas cancer... would like other people honest thoughts please 

  • Hiya 

    I'm sorry you are going through this with your mum. 

    CRP is a poor indicator as its not very specific and can raise with a lot of other things like inflammations/ viruses/ Gastro problems like Inflammatory bowel and other things than cancer but its good they are looking into it fully. I hope you get some good news. 

    I have a raised CRP, last time it was done it was 49, i was under the two week wait back in may and was cleared from cancer so hopefully this is the same for your mum.
