having trawled the internet as we all do, I thought I would post my question here....

I was put on a 2WW due to an abnormal FIT test.  Blood in stool.   I have never had fresh blood when I wipe, never had piles or anal fissures.   

GP fast tracked me as I have been experirencing other symptoms too.  I have a terrific GP!  

Had colonoscopy yesterday.   As I had a hysterectomy some 12 years ago I was aware that when there is no longer a uterus in situ, the colon drops into that space and can cause looping.    My procedure yesterday took over an hour due to excess looping.  I have a high pain threashold but even with Fentanyl, Midazolam and good old Entonox, I was in agony at times.  I'm so glad my prep was effective and I had a super team in the room with me... we all had a laugh at times which always helps.

Rambling here.

My question is... if my FIT test was abnormal and microscopic blood was found, what else could have caused this?   As I say, I had no polyps.. .clean as a whistle...no piles or tears.   My gums don't bleed either.   

I have a full CT scan on monday 28th Feb to explore other things.  I'm not a worrier at all.. never have had anxiety over health matters.  Just find myself curious about what could have caused the blood.

Oh and I'm 61.

Hope to hear from from you soon.

Many thanks.
