CT Scan

Hi, 

I was diagnosed with Gastritis and Duodenitis last year via an endoscopy and colonoscopy (also got a 20mm benign polyp removed). My weight loss has continued, even though I'm eating (20lbs in last 15 months). My Dr has said my amylase count is mildly elevated (indicating a possible pancreatic problem) and my CEA blood count was raised too but the Dr said she would ignore that as my colonoscopy was ok. I got a CT scan last Friday and I'm now very scared. Has anyone had any of these issues? 

  • Hello Lindy60

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with an ongoing health concern. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things. It's good to hear that your GP has been arranging further investigations and hopefully, the CT results will give you some answers and reassurance. 

    We know that waiting for tests and results can be a difficult time. Often it can help to talk things through and I wonder if you'd find it beneficial to chat things through with one of our team of nurses. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope that you have some answers soon. 

    Best wishes,
