Hello James, and thank you for posting. I am sorry you are in this situation right now.

It is difficult to know what to do and how to wait for results, as a day can feel like a week. But, be reassured, your hospital will get in contact with you with results when they have them.

Polyps are generally benign (non-cancerous) but still need to be removed and examined under a microscope for a thorough inspection. This ensures that they can see at the cell level exactly what it is.

Positive FIT test results can range from 10 to anything in the hundreds, so there isn't a specific number that equals cancer. It's more of a trigger that something, like a polyp, a lesion or a bowel condition like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is causing bleeding.

For now, until you hear from the team, it is difficult to second-guess what might be happening for you, but try to take each day as it comes.

Take care, James, and if you want to speak to the nurses do call 0808 800 4040. Lines open mon-fri, 9-5. 

Sarah.

Thank you Sarah. Update today. The mri has been cancelled. Not needed. Not sure if that is good or not. The multi dis team are discussing my case Friday and an appointment will be made after that. Not sure if that rules out a benign diagnosis or not? 
thanks James
