Lot of pain in abdomen - not eating - blood when wipe though mainly constipated . Doc did FIT test - 14.2 out on 14 day pathway for colonoscopy. Spoke to NHS triage nurse who went between me and consultant. Consultant decided that because a colonoscopy I had in early 2023 removed non cancerous sessile polyps I should return to gp for diet advice due to inflammation. Went to GP who said it could be a month before he got consultants notes and was perplexed why I was removed from pathway. Did another FIT test which came back today at 17.2. I’m really worried.
Hi NANNYANNIE It’s quite a low FIT result but your other symptoms qualify you to be referred under the 2 week rule. As your GP says it can quite often take a few weeks before consultant notes are typed up and sent on. Can your GP not contact the consultant for an explanation?
