Hi all. My serum iron has been slightly low for the past few months and my oncologist wants me to do a fecal occult blood test to determine if I have GI bleeding. My problem is that, with no colon, my BMs are runny/watery and I don't know how to get samples to smear on the test cards. Do any of you have any advice for me. I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Jason Colorectal cancer dx: 6/20/06 Step 1: 8/9/06 Gall bladder: 9/13/06 Chemotherapy: 10/5/06-3/24/07 Step 2: 6/6/07 FAP dx: 3/6/08 Adhesion surgery: 6/6/11 | ||

Does not matter. Just collect some in a papercup and use that. Jan  Take a deep breath and relax; this too will pass. | |||
