Hi, I am 27 and recently had fit and stool sample, my results where 289 fit and 314 calprotecin.
I have blood in my stools, the toilet bowl and when I wipe (bright red). Doctor has ruled out piles.i go toilet 7-12 times a day and i get on and off left abdominal pain feel sick and weak here and there.
I was wondering if anyone has had similar and what the outcome was? I have a colonoscopy next week which I am absolutley terrified about
Thankyou
Hi 12081996 and a very warm welcome to the Community but sorry to hear about your ongoing diagnoses.
Navigating the cancer diagnosis journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked the ‘exact same' cancer journey can help a lot. (I have a completely different cancer).
The New to Community is like our reception desk where we look to try and direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support. The Community is actually divided into dedicated Cancer Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend you join and post in our dedicated Bowel Cancer support group. This will be a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
To connect in with the group please click on the link below

…… then once the group page opens click in the [Black - Click to Join - Banner] that appears at the bottom of the page and this will then confirm that you have joined the group.
When you are ready……. you can introduce yourself by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [ + ] in the top right of the group page.
You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
You may find it helpful to call the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.
