To all who have had a >400 Fit result and subsequent worries of cancer, I had this result following only 2 minor incidents of blood on stool in December 23. 2 week referral with 'suspected cancer' is terrifying and the anxiety of the colonoscopy  outcome is awful. However, today i had the colonoscopy and have emerged with 'no evidence of cancer' only a single small polyp removed which surgeon described as benign pending biopsy result. Also a haemorroid and a bit of diverticulitis which is not threatening.

Like most on this forum, I was not reassured by anyone else's responses but now I urge folks to be positive and hope that the statistics are real - most positive tests are negative for cancer. Especially if you are chasing it up sooner rather than later following onset of any symptom.

Hello and thanks for your post,

It is encouraging that you have had the colonoscopy and there is no evidence of any cancer.

Thank you for letting us know.

All the best,
