Long wait time for tests

My 31yr old daughter has had a FIT test which came back positive 2 weeks ago. It came back as 60 which the GP said is high. GP said she should get a letter to go for a colonoscopy, this was 2 weeks ago and heard nothing from the hospital. She contacted her GP and she told her that there is a 4 month wait for a colonoscopy. 
as you can imagine we are all very anxious. Sshe also has Isopholic Asthma which has been worse the last few months, the immunosuppressant injection she has monthly are no longer having an affect either so it's all making her more anxious. 
is there any way she can be seen quicker? We're all very surprised that there seems to be a very long wait for a cancer diagnosis.. we don't have money to go private unfortunately otherwise we would. 
Amy advice appreciated please many thanks

  • Hi the only way she could probably get seen sooner is if the Doctor puts her on the urgent 2 week wait but it looks like he hasn't done that ,he obviously doesn't think its that urgent so if you are worried maybe get back in touch with your GP 

    Yes if her fit test came back at 60 its over the limit for being ok ,if its over 10 its positive but it can go up into the high hundreds ,I don't know if she has other symptoms or not or just the fit test and that's the reason for no urgency .

  • Thank you for your advice. She has been having belatedness, pain in that region and other symptoms go almost a year and the previous drs were giving her Buscopan and omeprazole. She started bleeding few months ago but didn't like to make a fuzz again and only mentioned when she went to see new gp with something else. She felt her tummy and said she would test out for bowel cancer then the results came back after about 8 weeks to say positive, the GP actually phoned her up with the results and very apolygenic saying she didn't think it was going to come back positive. My daughter has 3 young kids so is worried about them more than herself.
