Hi. My first post here. Been seeing GP since Feb with rectal bleeding. QT test was 11. Still have bleeding and some discomfort in left side so had another QT test and result was 150. Plus had positive test for Calprotectin. Have been referred to local hospital. Should I be worried?
Would appreciate all opinions. Thank you
Hi Poosie
Welcome to the forum . We get a lot of people through the boards in similar situations . Thankfully only ten percent according to the stats are attributed to bowel cancer but other conditions require assistance too so we always advocate finding out the reason for any bleeding .
Bowel cancer caught early has many treatment options .
Take care ,
