Introduce yourself FIT TEST >200

FIT TEST >200

Offline 292 over 2 years ago

Hi All, had FIT Test results back today at >200 and really stressing out!!

I have been passing blood with every toilet visit for 8 weeks or more (Bright Red)

my results say "refer your patient on the suspected LGI Cancer Pathway, the anxiety of it all is just too much :(

I'm 42 and otherwise fit and healthy but cannot think straight at all.

I don’t think the FIT test is 100% right some of the time because in July 2022 i had a negative fit test and in December 2023 i had a positive FIT test which told me i had bowel cancer and a 5 cm tumour, that tumour couldn’t have suddenly grown that large in less than a year I wouldn’t have thought
