Fit test over 400

Hi, I had some routine blood tests done and some came back abnormal so doctor gave me a fit to do I was so shocked when they called me and said I needed to see the doctor again urgently they got me in the same afternoon he said my fit test came back with over 400, well I wasn’t even sure what it ment but she said they would be referring me to see a doctor at the hospital no mention at this time of cancer, the next day I got a phone and offered an appointment for in 3 days time I attended the appointment he was a cancer specialist now he’s arranged for me to a colonoscopy as soon as they can get me an appointment. No here’s the thing I’ve not seen any blood in my poo my bowel movements have quite different over the last few months and my tummy is very tender and soft, and he said the examination he did on the day per rectal  was unremarkable so I’m lost I know I should have asked more questions when I saw him but to be honest I wasn’t expecting it to be a cancer specialist I was seeing so was a bit confused and shocked that day, I looked it up on Google and it said there was an 80% chance of bowel cancer, so I was wondering if anyone else had a reading of over 400 on their fit test and what was the outcome I’m now just waiting on an appointment for the colonoscopy hopefully it won’t be to soon as everything else as been very quickly done. 

thank you in advance

  • Hello Debbie

    I'm sorry to hear a recent FIT test result came back above normal range and that you now find yourself on a cancer pathway of investigations. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things. 

    It's good to know you've already seen the specialist and that you will be having a colonoscopy as soon as the team can get you booked in. Hopefully, this won't take too long and they will then be in a position to give you some answers and reassurance. 

    In the meantime, if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm (excluding bank holidays). 

    Keep in touch Debbie and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
