Hi there,
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong area to post in.
I'm a 28 year old woman, relatively fit and healthy, two young children. I recently had an extended (3 week) bout of bad stomach cramps/ache, back ache, diarrhoea and nausea, so my doctor got me to do some stool and blood samples. The FIT test came back positive, so I have been referred down the two week path for a colonoscopy. The hospital called this week to say it should be sometime in the next three weeks.
I was trying not to worry too much as I am feeling a lot better this week, but I just looked on my patient access app at the blood test results (the GP had ordered a lot of different tests, they mucked up details on the bottles, so I had to redo them Thursday and only one came back to her, which is now online). The abnormal results are indicating anemia, and show a high eosinophil count. Obviously I then googled that and am now panicking more.
Do all these results together spell bowel cancer, or could it also be diverticulosis or something else? The FIT test was 39 and it said normal range 0-10.
Thanks in advance.
