Hi,

I've just seen your post and wondering what your results were from your colonoscopy if you don't mind me asking?

ive had bleeding for a year and a half and some other symptoms and had a fit test a few weeks ago and the result was over 400, the hospital rang me last week to see if I could attend the next day and I'm now booked in for a colonoscopy in 2 weeks. I'm 38 and very scared but would rather know what I'm facing. 
The consultant kept saying it was alarming but then that it could be haemorrhoids or a polyp. 
Hope you are okay. 

Hi there,

How did your colonoscopy go for you? My partner has fit result over 200 and going for colonoscopy tmrw.  He is 39 so we are very worried.

Hope you are doing good

Thats probably it. Fingers crossed for you too.  Just really would like to know as I know he is so worried.

Hi all,  

My FIT came back last night and I had the number 400. My brother had colon cancer and I'm worried as I use naproxen and paracetamol daily and have done for many years.  

Please can someone put my mind at ease? 

Heidi

My hubbys has just come back at 400

What did yours turn out to be if you don't mind me asking x 

Did you bleed every day ?

Hubbys has just come back at 400 

Maroon coloured blood every time he passes a bm for nearly 2weeks now

Waiting for tests but worried sick 

Hi there, 

It seems I have 2 ulcers, which is far better than what I thought it was. 

I really hope your husband tests reveal something similar

Heidi

What symptoms did you have ? 

We're so worried . The waiting is awful 

The wait is the worst bit.

I had severe anaemia and was rushed in for a blood transfusion. I hadn't really noticed anything with my bm at that point and they thought it was due to heavy periods. 

I soon started to notice black bits in my poop and sometimes the whole toilet bowl was Maroon.  It was so scary but it turned out OK thank goodness. Please stay as positive as you can. 

Have they put your husband on the 2 week pathway? They put me on it and all my tests were completed around that timescale.

He has been passing maroon blood and has maroon stools for two weeks now

He is being fast tracked on the 2 week wait thing

Just waiting for a date for the colonoscopy 

I just freaked out when I saw the number 400

I'm just thinking with that a high number the chances of cancer have got to be higher? 

My FIT test was also 400, so not necessarily. 

I understand your worry but hope I have helped to ease it if just slightly.

Hopefully he'll h hear about the colonoscopy very soon

Hi,

Its awful having to wait. My result was over 400 and I had colonoscopy fairly soon after that. I was told I had inflammation towards the end of my colon. They have given me suppositories to help with the inflammation. They took biopsies and they all came back okay. I'm now waiting to get seen as they don't know what is causing my inflammation. Prior to the colonoscopy I bled every day. Since then when I take the suppositories, the bleeding stops but when I stop taking them the bleeding returns within a week. . I've been told to take them all the time but with working and then making me feel bloated, I can't take them indefinitely.
