I saw the GP today who has said I have aneamia with a possible vit b12 deficiency….
I added that have the occasional blood in stool from (I think) a pile flare up and she is not sending me for a FIT test too. I am quite anxious but I’ll do it all.
I had some blood tests this time last year and all was fine.
i had a medical aboriton in late March and there was (I think) a lot of blood loss. And my periods have been quite heavy since, though, tbf; have always been on the heavier side. I tried to ask whether this was linked and she dismissed it a little and focused more on possible bowel cancer which has rattled me a bit. Has anyone had similar experience? 😥

Yes, anemia, very low ferritin and high inflammation- I had a colonoscopy which showed some inflammation but nothing significant- was sent away with iron tablets which did do the job.
