Dear all,

I am being checked at the moment to rule out bowel cancer. Had all the worrying symptoms and my mum was 37 when she was diagnosed with bowel cancer.

I just had a telephone consultation with my GP who was shocked I hadn't had my scan appointment through as she said I should have had it within 2 weeks of her referral so she's chasing that. 
She said my bloods were ok apart from my CRP which was 19 and she would repeat the bloods in 2 weeks to check this. 
I know the elevated CRP can be for a number of reasons and could be that I recently had n infection without knowing.

I just wondered if anyone had any similar experiences?  The doctor said although this result is elevated it's not panic stations requiring immediate investigation so I am not worried but it's just the waiting and now it'll be another 2 weeks before I know if there's any change.

Thanks in advance 

ps I tried to post this is 'waiting for a diagnosis' but it didn't show this option
