Hi Sarah74,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be a difficult time and no doubt there are lots of uncertainties and some worries. I hope that the appointment comes around quickly for you. While you wait, try to keep busy to keep your mind off things as much as possible.

It may help to talk things through with one of our nurses - they will also be better able to advise on your questions. If you'd like to do this, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

Wishing you all the best,

Hi, I just come across your post while seeking for answers and was wondering if you would be willing to share your result? I have also had a FIT and calprotecin test, both of which come back high. I understand this may be a sensitive question so please don't answer if you don't feel comfortable.

I hope everything was okay and I wish you all the best.

Hi  

I had a ct scan and a colonoscopy within 3weeks of being reffered to local hospital. 

Nothing  visable was found on either,

They took 10 biopsies im still waiting results of these it will be 4 weeks tommorow....

So even thought i have answers im still waiting on some aswell.

How high was you results 

Thank you for replying,

My FIT test came back as 40 and my calprotecin came back as 160. I've just been put on a 2 week referral. I've got no constipation or diarrhoea, I only tend to get the later the morning after eating a greasy take away (sorry for the info). My only symptoms were I sometimes have stools which can be flat on one side, a lot more are actually normal than like this. I also have had a few sharp and dull pains around my tummy which don't ever last for long. 

im glad to hear that your tests have come back good so far, I also hope your biopsy results come back asap so you can finally put your mind at ease. 
Take care.

I hope you get some answers soon,

Im chasing up my results tmrw im hoping no news means good news ..

One you have spoke with consultant they will say what tests need to be done.

Hello again, any luck with chasing your results? My gp rang me today asking me to retake a calprotecin test which is good because I done some research and realised ibuprofen and and alcohol can affect the results. I drank a lot of alcohol 2 days before since I was at a party and ibuprofen the day before the test. He wants to discuss my previous results with me tomorrow which I already know is not good since I can see them on the NHS app. 
 

I hope you get a reply today! Good luck and take care:).
