Calprotectin of >2000

Hi All

I started having blood in my stools mid last year and was offered an urgent colonoscopy (after a positive FIT test). the Colonoscopy showed mild inflammation, but UC vs. Crohn's was not conclusive... Did an MRI which showed mild inflammation of the terminal ileum.

Calp showed a reading of 240 in July this year and was given Budesonide... however i have just completed the course 3 weeks back, and the calp now has a reading of >2000... not only did the BUdesonide not help, but in fact has worsened my symptoms (still blood in stools and now stools are mostly semi-sold, almost liquid).

Have a call with the nurse next week but worried that this could be cancer?
