Hi. Going through the same thing with my husband at the moment. Positive FIT test after.rectal bleed. Referred for urgent  colonoscopy via the 2 week cancer pathway. Terrified is an understatement so I completely understand how you're feeling. From what I have been reading, only 1 in every 10 colonoscopies find cancer. There are also so many other things it could be. It's hard to think positive though when there is a possibility of cancer.  They just have to refer you to be on the safe side. Try not to overthink things. Easier said than done I know. Have you had to have any other tests like bloods or anything? My hubby had blood tests which all came back normal apart from high cholesterol. Trust me, there are loads of people on here who are worried because of a positive FIT result so you are definitely not alone. Here if you need to chat. x

I've had no symptoms at all. Been feeling fine so I ripped letter open not expecting to see the referral for the colonoscopy. It now all feels very serious and it's freaking me right out. I would have thought I'd have some sort of symptom if something was wrong but I've googled far too much and maybe not.

You're totally justified in being freaked out. I've done nothing but cry and have panic attacks since my husband was told about his FIT result. He was told to make an appointment with his GP and she told him his result face to face. He seems to be taking it all in his stride though he is worried about the procedure. I'm sure that the colonoscopy will provide more information for you and hopefully put your mind ar ease x

What was your husband FIT score ? The colonoscopy should tell him more , has he got any symptoms ? 

Gordgrc. Husband's FIT score was >90. In his GP notes it uses the words 'strongly positive.
