Fit test 400

Hi. I'm 30 years old and my doctors just told me my Fit test has come back at 400, and that the stool samples I did are also extremely high.

I've been reffered on a two week wait pathway but the letter I've received for my appointment says "urgent referral, suspected cancer" and of course I am absolutely terrified! I've got a telephone appointment first then I presume they will do a colonoscopy?

My doctor said she thinks Ulcerative Colitis or Crohns but she can't rule cancer. I'm so scared! 

  • Sorry to hear you are going through this.

    Don't put too much emphasis on the "urgent referral, suspected cancer." Those are just medical terms that mean cancer is one of the possible options here and therefore you should get seen quickly. It doesn't mean they think it is cancer. They say that if there is any chance at all of cancer, even if it's like 5%.

    Hope you get good news and it turns out to be nothing too serious.
