Welcome to the forum, Sharon124.

Thanks for your reply.  I did follow it up with gp. And it was my result! Just to let anyone know that a FIT test ordered from your gp over the phone or face to face. The result will be dated the day the gp ordered it, not the date you sent the sample off. Apparently " suspicious of cancer" is the usual term they put in the result wording now so that the gp does not miss it. So please don't worry if you're result comes back with that wording.  The test can only ever detect blood in your poo NOT cancer cells and there are so many other things it can be. Take care everyone. 

Hi Sharon124. My husband is going through the same at the moment. Blood in poo. Gp appointment. Examination confirmed bleeding. No mass felt. She thinks it may be an anal fissure bit ordered a FIT test. FIT test was positive at 90. Told him he would be referred for further investigations. Had his colonoscopy appointment through for this Monday (22 April). He is dreading the procedure but is trying to stay positive. Really hoping its just a tear because he had been struggling to go to the loo beforehand and strained a lot after taking laxatives. I'm absolutely bricking it. Terrified is an understatement. I don't want him to have cancer. He's my soul mate. I feel so useless because I keep getting upset. 

I hope you get good news. Do you have to go for a colonoscopy too? 

Hi LunaLou. I've got a telephone appointment on Monday  22nd  April from the Consultant  so I will know more after that. I want to have the colonoscopy to be sure. But I am bricking it too. Its the wait and not knowing that is the awful time. Try and think positive hun. There are so many other things it could be. IBS is just one of them. I can understand how you feel its the most horrendous time for you and him. I will be thinking of you and him on Monday.  I will keep everything  crossed that the outcome is positive  (I'm sure it will be) please let me know how he gets on. One thing I will say is that, talking to others that have had this procedure, there is no pain and he could ask if he could have  light sedation if he feels happier. Apparently the worst part of the whole thing is the bowel prep as you live on the loo. Thinking of you both. 

Hi LunaLou. Let's  not look on the black side hun.  Try and get through the next 2 days . They are amazing and will treat him and you with kindness and understanding.  But I do know how you feel. I too suffer with depression and anxiety  and  I fell apart when I saw my results.  But I have got to try and be strong as my husband has memory loss and I can't afford to be ill. Remember, there are so many things that your hubby  could have and not cancer. Thank goodness Monday is not too far away. The next two days are going to be hard to get through.  But you will do it. Tuesday has to come. Keep strong and try and get a good a night's sleep as you can hun. I'm going to watch something  funny on YouTube when I go to bed. I find it helps me think of something else.  Remember I'm thinking of you both.

LunarLou i hope all went well today for your hubby

Thank you Sharon. Not long got home from hospital. No cancer detected. One small sessile polyp which they removed and will send off but the nurse told him they send all polyps off as a precaution and that it was benign. So relieved its over and it's all good. How are you getting on? x

Oh my god I am so happy for you both what a relief hun. I've had a phone consultation and I'm booked for 4th May  but they're trying to get me in earlier  as I'm a nervous  wreck.    but it's got to be done and I've got to get passed it. I'm off to bed now to try and sleep.  You both have a great night's sleep hun. Its all over now. You can relax.  I'll keep you posted on my adventure.  Take care 

Oh thank goodness for that.  I'm so pleased for you and your hubby.  You can now sleep
