CRP 82 bowel issues

Hi everyone; I have had abdominal pain, fatigue,  chronic diarrhoea, bloating etc. for many months. I got a phone call yesterday to say my bloods are abnormal; I have a CRP of 82. I'm talking with the doctor next week. I'm trying to stay level headed and I know there's likely lots of reasons for these outcomes, but I just wanted to ask what's likely to happen next? I do have a tumour on my kidney; it is benign. 

  • Hi Pamelia72,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read of the issues you've been experiencing recently and I'm sure the waiting for further information is a little unsettling.

    Hopefully it is now not too long until your appointment - I'd suggest making a note of any questions you may have and discussing everything with the doctor/specialist.

    I'm not too sure about next steps, but if you'd like to talk anything through with one of our nurses in advance of your appointment then you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
