Positive Fit Test

Hi. I just wanted to introduce myself and share some of my fears and anxieties over my recent health issues  

I've  had severe diarrhes for six weeks. Spoke to the doctors at two weeks had blood and stools tests. At week three doctors rang to say  Blood came back with slight raised inflammation markers they suggested diverticulitis but told to do a fit test, didn't hear anything back from the doctors so thought fit test must be ok and diarrhea had  started to slow from five or six times a day to once or twice, but yesterday was horrendous so rang the doctors who rang me back to say fit test was positive. They'd also been asking me if I'd lost weight which I said no, but last night noticed a little bit of weight loss as I got undressed and got scales to see I've lost half a stone. I've been referred for urgent two week camera but I see that people are talking numbers on the fit test. My doctor didn't mention any, so thinking maybe they're high and he's not making me anxious. (As if given my symptoms I'm not already).  So right now just hoping the urgent referral is as quick as possible.

  • Hi Polly63,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of how things are with you at the moment - it's good to hear you've got this checked out and hopefully now with the referral it won't be too much longer to wait to find out more.

    I hope the appointment comes around soon and that things ease a little for you.

    Wishing you all the best,
