FIT test >200

Hi! 
I wondered if anyone has had a similar situation. 
I’ve had bleeding most times I’ve opened my bowels for about 6-8 weeks. I went to the GP assuming it was haemorrhoids but they said I don’t have any and the FIT test has come back >200 and have been referred until the fast track cancer pathway. I have a colonoscopy booked for in a week. Has anyone had this and it turned out ok? 
thanks c x

    While I didn't have a FIT test (and the test I had came back as no blood), I did have rectal bleeding and the GP was unable to find any hemorrhoids, but it turned out to be hemorrhoids anyway when I had the colonoscopy. At the colonoscopy, they said it was quite common for hemorrhoids to be missed.

    And of course, there are a load of other things that can cause blood, such as a polyp, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's...

    Hope you get good news.
