Hi, I am new to this site but normally post on the Prostate Cancer site for myself.
In Jan 23, my wife started to get what she thought was indigestion and burping. Underwent a series of tests-
Qfit - normal,
Colonoscopy 4 polyps (non malignant) removed, otherwise normal.
Endoscopy identified Helicobacter Pylori,
She was prescribed a course of tablets (antibiotic) and the symptoms disappeared from July 2023 to Jan 2024, when she started complaining about indigestion and burping again.
Qfit has just come back as 18. Dr has sent her for Colorectal referral, so hopefully will get another Colonoscopy soon. She is obviously worried and we have been through the waiting game with myself, but just wondered if anyone on here has had anything similar? Thanks in advance, David
Hi David2017 That is a pretty low Qfit result but it’s always good to get thoroughly checked out. I’ve attached a link to a previous post from someone in a similar position which may hopefully help?
