Bowel Cancer symptoms, getting nowhere with NHS or private !

Well the virtual CT plus normal range qfit last Month was okay but my fobt tests  home were positive. That explains low iron. Paid private gastro specialist but he says just functionality. Ive lost weight bloated and need laxatives to go. Fatigue and belly pain. He doesnt suggest colonsxope now. Nhs wont pay due to normal range qfit ct ....im lost and in pain...

  • Go private again and see a different specialist. The specialist I saw offering me reassurance that he was confident I don't have bowel cancer he rushed through my colonoscopy on the nhs so I didn't have to pay for it privately. 
    he reccomended that I don't do a fit test so straight to the colonoscopy. My father also never had to do a fit test straight to the colonoscopy. 
    I think fit tests are quite accurate but if you have symptoms they shouldn't be ignoring you x

  • Thanks for.the reply. I paid £200 for 20 minutes and he simply repeated my NHS history of tests. Astonished....just need to spend anotherq 200 bexuase of 18 month waiting in my area..Good luck.
