  • Hi Zany52, 

    I just wanted to wish you the best of luck for your telephone appointment next week. I hope it all goes well and I am keeping everything crossed for you. 

    It is normal to worry after receiving a positive FIT test but it's important to remember, as mentioned on our page on the FIT test, that there are many other conditions that can trigger a positive FIT test so try not to worry too much if you can. 

    Many other members of our community have also had a positive FIT test and they will know very well how anxious this can make you feel and I hope that they come and say hello and that they will have some reassuring words. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Zany52, I had a positive FiT test 2 months ago and was terrified. It turned out to be fine as do most positive fit tests so try to remember that. Waiting is hell. I'm just waiting for a breast biopsy and the all the anxiety has returned so I know it's easier said than done when someone says try not to worry.
