Positive FIT Test

Hi, my husband had a positive fit test over 2 weeks ago.
he had a month or so with constant diarrhoea and cramps.
Over the last 2 weeks he's had no symptoms whatsoever, it's totally died off. The FIT test has shown blood though.
I'm trying to think positive but I'm worried. Is it a good sign that there's been no symptoms since? Or can this still happen?

we have waited over 2 weeks for an an appointment now and today was the last day of the 2 week wait to get a letter and nothing. We now have to chase on Tuesday.

Does anyone have any advice on the symptoms? And is it likely it could still be bowel cancer if the symptoms have died off? I want honest answers, not just something to make me feel better xx

Hello EmmaHG82
It's reassuring that in the last two weeks your husband's symptoms have cleared but it's good to check everything thoroughly. It's a shame you still haven't received the appointment letter after two weeks and you're right to try and chase this on Tuesday.
When you have your appointment it's worth mentioning that the symptoms have eased recently but that there was this positive FIT. I hope you have this appointment very soon and that they are able to answer your questions thoroughly.
In the meantime, hopefully you will hear from other members of the forum who have experienced similar symptoms and they will come and share their story with you. I hope you get some answers very soon and I am keeping everything crossed for your husband that everything turns out to be fine.
Best wishes,
