FIT 46

Hi everyone have never posted to forum before and I am very anxious and upset .....have had full upper abdominal discomfort and more regular softer poos for a few weeks now ......had a FIT test (ironic name) and result 46 ......now I am so so worried and I also suffer from depression ......feel pathetic but just looking for support or advice ......thanks ....I'm in my 50s.....

  • Not quite the same, but for what it's worth, I had months of rectal bleeding, weight loss, some loose stools (about once a week) and a couple of weeks of bad trapped wind and when I had a colonoscopy, all that was found was hemorrhoids. Different symptoms from yours, but still. Abdominal symptoms can be caused by lots of things. Hope you get good news.

  • Depression comes in many forms from mild to severe.  I had two brothers and two sisters die in  a space of two months. in 2015.  I should have died during that time. I had an oesophagus rupture. during my time in hospital I was getting all the bad news of my brothers and sisters passing.  I became that depressed all I wanted was to die. asking why them and not me..  Lucky for me a pesron who did volentary work to help spot people suffering saw the signs in me.  I was classed as having manic depression. morning noon and night all I could think about was dying. how to do it. but this support worker got me through those dark times, when I had all but given up on life.  I was diagnosed with liver cancer in early January 2020.  But I just shrugged and laughed it off as it's my way of dealing with the stresses. I kept it to myself as I was my wife's full time carer.  I couldn't be ill,  So things continued as normal. Then devistating news, the wife was rushed into hospital and they found an aggressive cancer in her bowel. given 2 months,  which turned out to be 6 weeks and passed away in July 2020. I was recieving bereavement counselling. but stopped after 3 months. it was all to upsetting talking about my wife. I'm all alone having to deal with the news that if I don't get onto a transplant list for a liver donor. my only option left is liver failure. should this be the case for me,  I know it is a very short window before I die. The thing is, I know I should be feeling depressed. but I just don't care as long as I'm in the same place with my wife.

  • Sorry to hear that I have signed my self for counselling
