Hi as the nurse said ,and you will already know yourself that a positive fit test definitely doesn't mean cancer ,you probably know as well that a reading of 17 is very low as readings can be very high hundreds and beyond but its good that they're checking you out especially with your History of bowel cancer ,I would definitely mention the problems and pain you experience from a Colonoscopy and see what they suggest ,I've heard of people having the CT scan first to pick up anything first hopefully nothing is found ,I hope you hear soon from the hospital ,I know you said you'd read recurrence means death but a lot of these references are way out of date and as we know cancer treatments have got so much better in the last few years so keep that in mind .
