Positive fit test results received today - worried sick

Having a diagnosis of cervical polyp which is due to be removed in Feb I have had since had a round of blood tests which were fine and a poo test which has come back positive for something.i have been having a heavy feeling in my grion/stomach area and aches I  my lower back. The doctor receptionist rang this morning saying the doctor wants to call  me withjn 2 weeks to discuss these results, I am now scared stiff. I have pain sometimes when going to the toilet and and am generally constipated anyway so no changes that way but am frightened that it could be serious. Any thoughts or reassurances are welcome x

  • Hello Cheza1283

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some health concerns which have resulted in a positive fit test. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious but I would imagine that the GP would want to speak to you sooner than 2 weeks if they had serious concerns about things. 

    Whilst it's natural to think the worst, try to remember that there could be many simple causes for the positive result especially if you already struggle with constipation. 

    Hopefully your GP will be able to offer you some reassurance at your appointment and I hope that your surgery in February goes smoothly. 

    Best wishes
