Dear Lesley, how are you supposed to make head or tail out of that! I think I would take the letter down to the doctors and ask them to explain it so you can understand! At least you had a copy which is more than you get in my neck of the woods, so glad you are getting the blood in poo checked out, very important that you do! All the very best, huff xxxx

Good luck sorting that lot out Lesley and do see your doctor very soon to get everything checked out. He/she should be able to put you straight on some things at least. You take care. xxxx
