Hi, I'm 41 years old,  I contacted my gp after discovering I had lost 11lbs in 2-3 weeks, I'm quite overweight but even when dieting I can't lose this amount so quickly, so obviously I was concerned. My gp was very thorough and ordered a chest xray (I'm an ex smoker and my mum died of lung cancer), blood tests and a FIT test and test for IBD. I've had the xray, all was clear, my blood test is next week and I did my stool sample. My FIT test came back positive at 31, I've not seen any blood in my stools. My bowels have always been a bit dodgy but I just believed it was IBS as it runs in the family and my grandad had crohns. Anyway I've been referred urgently for I assume a colonoscopy, so naturally I'm absolutely terrified. I've been very anxious about my health and death since my mum died 7 years ago. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy 3 years ago due to my bowel trouble and apart from a polyp which they said was nothing to worry about, all was clear. I have been crying all day since I got the results and I don't know what to do with myself, I don't know how I'm going to get through these 2 weeks. I'm petrified it's cancer and I'm going to die. I have 7 children aged 21, 19, 13, 12, 12, 7 and 6 and I'm due to be a nana in October. How can I try not to worry so much? My anxiety is through the roof right now. Is my FIT result of 31 high? Does it make a difference what the number is in relation to whether its cancer or not. Thank you.
