Abnormal FIT test result

Hi there,

I have been told today that my FIT test result is 52 ug Hb/g and that I have been referred to the colorectal team (2 week urgent pathway) for suspected cancer. What can I expect next? I am trying not to worry. Is there a specific FIT level that means cancer is more likely? 

Many thanks,

Charlie

  • Try not to worry - I had three FIT tests - first one was 112, second one was 129 and third one was over 200. I was really scared but after my colonoscopy I was told I had severe diverticulosis, hemorrhoids and either an inverted diverticulum or a polyp. I’m waiting to hear whether it’s a polyp that needs removing or whether it’s an inverted diverticulum. So as you can see there’s lots of things it could be. I nearly made myself ill worrying about what it might be and imagining the worse case scenario. Please try not to worry - I’m sure everything will be fine  - good luck x
