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?

    I am sorry to hear about the symptoms you are having and appreciate what a worrying time this must be for you.

    Symptoms as I am sure you are aware have many different causes and most won't be the result of cancer but often tests are needed to find out more and rule out something more sinister as well.

    You would expect for anyone who has visible blood in their stool to get a high FIT test result but there can be other reasons for blood that isn't cancer.

    Try and not over think this but take things one step at a time until you have all the information about what is going on. Do let your doctors know if symptoms are worsening or changing and out of hours or in an emergency call NHS111 for advice.

    I hope you have family and friends around you to look after and support you and really hope you have some more answers soon.

    Get back in touch if you would like to or you are welcome to call the helpline on 0808 800 4040 weekdays 9-5 if you prefer.

    Take care
