Hi all. I try not to ask for reassurance on forums as a rule as I know you're not doctors. I'm just beside myself.
Had lots of gynae problems and bowel problems and bladder problems. Long story short, always needing a wee, bleeding after sex and bleeding after a poo. Anyway. I had a sigmoidoscopy either last year or the year before (can't remember) and was meant to have a colonoscopy. Couldn't go through with it due to horrendous experience. Anyway, lately been having stomach pain (and lower back pain) and did stool sample for doc to check calprotectin levels while she also refered me for a colonoscopy. Rang up for results for a uti the other day and was also told my calprotectin levels were over 300 (normal is below 50). I have the presassessment on Wednesday and no doubt the procedure will be weeks after that. I am absolutely beside myself. I can't stop thinking about bowel cancer. To make it worse, I've actually gone one step further and diagnosed myself with a secondary cancer as well, making the BC inoperable. My poo has been soft for a while now, and I actually went to A&E with abdo pains a month ago. The said my bloods were "fairly normal" meaning one inflammation market was raised. I also always have white blood cells in my wee and now my calprotectin levels are sky high i am beside myself with worry. As some of you might know, my mother has terminal lung cancer and her bloods are fine! I haven't had blood in my poo for about 6wks but I do have shooting pains up there. God I'm waffling on a bit now :(
