Bowel cancer Fit test

Hi.  My test was 12, which I know is just,above what docs want it to be but much less than the 80? limit if to just do the bi-annual thru the post tests.

So my question is this:

As I really don't want a colonoscopy...what totally non invasive options have others had?    Also would I be justified in saying can I wait,a month or so and do another fit test....just to double check numbers?

Thanks

  • Hi I've had 2 Colonoscopies and as you say 12 is a very low number considering some people can have a test in the high hundreds ,as we know the cut off point is 10 before they investigate ,in my opinion you would be justified in waiting and asking for another fit test at a later date ,I've seen people on here have more than one test before having a Colonoscopy especially if they have no other symptoms ,I would run it by your GP ,I'm sure it won't be a problem ....
