My husband had a positive fit test results back the doctor in the hospital rung him and said it come back as 43% does that mean he has cancer in the bowels or colon please his is so worried he keeps crying
All the test means is that they have found blood within the stool. Thankfully many things which are not cancer related can cause this! My own husband was sent for a urgent colonoscopy after passing blood and they found polyps and colitis which has been biopsied to test for an IBD. He was perfectly healthy up until the sudden blood loose and I had convinced myself it was bowel cancer and so can understand the stress this situation can induce. Non-cancerous polyps, fissures, fistures, hymoroids, ulcerative colitis, crohns...just a few of the things which can cause a positive fit test and all more likely then cancer.
Wishing you the best with the upcoming investigates.
