Ct results

Over the last 6 months I have completely lost my appetite and lost 6 stone in weight. I'm in pain after eating and my bowel habits have also changed significantly. I had been trying to see my GP since January who just kept sending me for blood tests but didn't speak to me or see me.

4 weeks ago I finally got a face to face and an urgent 2 week referral was put in for me to be seen by gastro. .2 days later I had a telephone appointment with a consultant who said he had already booked a few tests as he can't rule out something serious. 4 days later I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy the colonoscopy failed as they struggled to move through my bowel  followed by a full body ct scan and a colon ct scan which was 2 weeks ago today. I'm still waiting for results but they did say 10 to 14 days. I'm trying to keep calm and going down the route of no news is good news. As anyone else been through something similar.

  • Hello Shell73, 

    You did the right thing in going to see your GP and getting this looked into.  hope you won't have to wait too long for your CT scan results. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. So you're doing the right thing in keeping calm if you can. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
