Hi. I'm no expert but...I am guessing you did a FIT test or similar? And they found blood in your stool? If that is the case, then that can be caused by loads of things, but one possibility is cancer, so they have to find out if that could be the cause. Or if it is anything else like diverticulitis that might need treatment.

If it is a FIT test, I believe something like 1 in 10 of positive FIT tests turn out to be cancer.

Most likely, they will do a colonoscopy that will tell them what has caused the positive result - a polyp, cancer, diverticulitis, a hemorrhoid, a fissure, IBD, an infection...

Thanks Margaret much appreciated.
