  • Hi, Donna. 

    I had a fit test a while back which was negative and was recorded at 0 so I'm not sure how they gage the numbers when a positive is found but I was told when doing FIT tests lots can cause blood in stools without if being sinister.

    Have you had a full blood count also?

    I know these times are very worrying but most cases of investigation end with a positive outcome.

    Stay away from Dr Google iv spent many of hours consumed by in and then convincing myself death was imminent.

    Wishing you all the best.

  • Had bloods done about month and half ago and they seemed fine what i know too. I always try and think possitive and hardly ever look at google to search about things in regards to illness, that just makes you worry more.

    That number seems to be pretty high thats the worrying part.

    Thanks for you comment

    Regards Donna 

  • I know it's a very worrying time.

    I'm wishing you all the best with next tests and results. 

  • I do always try and think possitive

    Thank you for commenting  x

  • Can you please let us know how you get on today. I am driving myself insane about my husbands results and awaiting his colonoscopy. 
     

    I hope all is well. X 

  • Everything went well. I had 1 polyp removed which as been took off to annalyzed but they have reassured me it doesnt look cancerous, but maybe would of turned in years to come. As far as the bleeding which i had at first they thought it may have been from off my medication what ive been put on for having stents done back in November. So he as put the bleeding down to the polyp which they found and removed. What they have found out is that i have Diverticulitis (wear and tear of thr bladder) so basically i have to now watch what i eat. Im so pleased as i was petrified, but i was put at ease straight away.

    Please i know its hard but all the worrying in the world wont change whats going on, and all the worrying will just make you poorly, you will probably find its something that can i dealt with quickly. He will be in best hands. Try and think possitive

    Please let us know how he gets on .

     

    Take care xx

  • Thank you so much for responding and I am glad all is ok. I am trying really hard to be positive and when I think logically the likelihood of it being something serious is slim but then I worry I am being too relaxed and will then be told it's worse. 
     

    He has no symptoms now, he had a bad tummy for 2 weeks in October but has cleared up now. Dr done a DRE and said he felt an internal Hemorrhoid, but from reading online (I do this a lot) it says it's unlikely to produce a positive fit test. I don't know if that's true or not. I also can't find a lot that indicates the higher the result the worse the outcome. 
     

    we are waiting to hear from the clinic now. I just want it over and done with. We have just bought a new house and can't seem to enjoy it at the moment. 

  • If it is something like hemorroids then if he had the test done whilst this was the case then the fit test count will be high, this is what my doctor told me.

    So please try not to worry. And ps please dont read stuff on google thats the worst thing that you can do . Try and think possitive it will more that likely be something that they will sort for him. 

    Wish him luck. Ps try not to worry flower xxx

  • Wow! Anxiety is proper bad now! My husbands colonoscopy is on Sunday and I am getting so worked up about it but obviously not telling him as I can tell how scared he is. 
    I am absolutely convinced they are going to find something and then what are we going to do. 
    im literally searching the internet to find out if the higher the result the more likely it is to be cancer!  

    I drive myself crazy!
