FIT test

Hi there, can I just ask how quickly anyone got called to let them know if their FIT test was positive? I have received a text message asking to make an appointment for a phone call consultation with my doctor as she wishes to speak to me about my results. Not to worry unduly, but she obviously needs to speak with me. Should I be worried? She told the receptionist to book me in for a phone call within 2 weeks. I am so anxious and have been crying all day. The thought of waiting a week for a call is just horrible. Appreciate if any of your could share if you were called immediately or had to book an appointment to get your results?

 

many thanks

    I am praying it's just my diverticulitis and nothing more. It's just so worrying, especially when I'm in a lot of pain daily. Thank you for your message x

    I could only leave the professionals to do their job and hope they could sort it for me.

    Took one day at a time and tried to keep positive.

    Alot of heartache and tears.

    Not sure of the stages, I daren't ask.

    Surgery first time and surgery/chemo second time.

    Anaemia, tired/less energy, bloated, indigestion, marroon shapeless poo.

    No weight loss or backache.

    Don't read stuff on the internet!

    I was scared I would need a stoma second time, I didn't and was so relieved, however as you say it's a small price to pay to have your life.

    xx
