Fit test greater than 400

Hello I'm new to this forum but getting very worried as fit test in stool came back greater than 400. For the past 3 weeks been having blood in my stool. Just the last couple of days feel like I've been hit by a brick, having pain and cramps in abdomen, feeling freezing cold, extremely sick and no energy what so ever. The doctor has ordered me to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy just worried it's cancer. Has anyone got any experience of this?

    Hi Jem4

    Sorry to read you are going through this wait.

    I am also waiting to get a colonoscopy after an abnormal fit test.

    So anyone that has an abnormal fit test gets put on the 2 week pathway for a colonoscopy,  no matter thr number. Its procedure now.

    The bleeding could be caused by any number of things,  mainly piles or fissures but they have to check as could also be bowel disease like crohns, colitis etc and sometimes yes it could be bowel cancer but most colonoscopies do not show this.

    Your other symptoms could be down to the stress of this or could be a virus.ive been down with a bug since Friday..

    As my husband says there is no point in worrying until you know you have something to worry about
