Positive FIT test

Hi ,

I was sent for a pelvic CT scan and then referred to a bowel specialist who asked me to do a FIT test . I received a phone call 48 hours later to be told it was positive and I need an urgent colonoscopy,  I received a letter today to say I am on a two week pathway and will be seen ASAP.

I'm 55 and lost my dad last February to bowel cancer. Very scared I have it now.

  • Hi ladies, I just posted my first post. I to am under the 2 week rule. My Dr rang in 24 hours of the fit test. My level was 146 I had 4 days of loosing lots of bright red blood after passing motion. although at time of fit test poo looked normal so I was surprised. I have colonoscopy 13th May. I'm 41 year old female. Do you know what your fit results were if you don't mind me asking. Thanks lian xxx
