Hello Emski7991

I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health issues which resulted in a raised FIT test result. 

How did your telephone appointment go yesterday? I hope that the health professional that you spoke with was able to give you some answers and reassurance about things. 

If there is anything you'd like to talk through with one of our nurses, you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support they can. 

Best wishes,

It went well I am in for blood tests today as they will not give me the laxatives unless I've had my kidney function blood test done then a waiting game for colonoscopy, spoke to my biological mum who has told me that her great grandfather and grandfather both had bowel cancer. 

Hello Emski

I'm glad to hear that the necessary tests have been set in motion, and hopefully you won't have to wait too long for your colonoscopy. 

Try not to focus too much on past family history. There could be many reasons for the raised result that you've had. The important thing now is to remain positive and focus on keeping well ahead of your appointment. 

Do give our nurses a call if it would help to talk at any point, and let us know how you get on. 

We're here for you.
