In case it helps anyone: have had colonoscopy and two sigmoidoscopy (feels similar) and about 10 polyps removed since the high FIT test. None of the polyps have been cancerous.
So just to say that a high fit test result doesn’t always mean the worst. Take care

So grateful to come across this note and appreciate your sharing it. I've just had a positive FIT test of over 400. Been Googling far too much and got myself in a bit of a state. 
I have a colonoscopy booked for Sunday 30th and you're all right. The waiting and thinking is horrific for both me and my husband. 
Good and reassuring to hear lots of you get positive outcomes. 

Good news that you have the colonoscopy booked so soon. It's not so bad a procedure, and at least after that you'll know what's causing the high fit test.
I did the same with the googling and it didn't help me either.
Sending you positive thoughts for Sunday week...
 

Procedure all done and now home. Really wasn't too bad. Knowing I'd soon have answers made it easier to deal with. And the great news is that despite the high FIT result there is no evidence of cancer. I've been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. 
Such a relief. 

I was wondering earlier how it went with you. That it great news re there being no evidence of cancer.

Hi,sorry to gatecrash this thread but I've had a reading today of 16. I know it's over the limit of 10 but do you or anyone else know if this is on the lower side? I'm in a pretty dark place right now and I'm terrified. I've not long turned 50 and now this. Reading some of the posts on here makes me think mine is quite low or not far over the threshold so to speak. Can someone give me some kind of advice or reassurance? I'm having the colonoscopy within the next 2 weeks and I'm worried sick.

16 is definitely on the lower side. As you can see, people in this thread have gotten results of 300 and 900 and so on.

And many things can cause blood in the stool, especially as 16 indicates only a small amount. Most likely explanation is something like hemorrhoids or a fissure or something really minor. Cancer probably isn't in the top five most likely explanations.

I’m glad I’ve found this thread, my 80 year old husband had kidney cancer 5 years ago, on his yearly CT scan they found he had stomach and lymphoma cancer, had his stomach out last Jan then radiotherapy to his groin for the lymphoma finished about 8 weeks ago. He had full blood test last month for the stomach cancer, low iron was found so a FIT test was done 2 times and blood was in it, first 28 second 63. He’s having another CT scan on Sat to make sure the stomach parts ok and a face to face at the hospital. He can’t drink the prep for the colonoscopy as he’s no stomach so his CNS said maybe an enema and a CTC scan instead, whatever that is.My husbands so positive I’m the other way and googled everything I can find. Don’t know why I’m writing this really but it does help and sorry it’s so long but he has a lot going on. Thanks for reading anyhow xx

Hi he has got a lot going on Sue ,it must be an awful worry ,the only thing I can say really is the fact 63 for a fit test is quite low considering it can go up to the high hundreds but I guess with all the other stuff going on its still a big worry ,I've heard of others not being able to drink the prep and having a scan instead ,its great to hear your husband is so positive it will help his journey ,I hope everything goes as well as it possibly can for him if he gets the CTC scan ,let us know how he gets on if you feel like a chat Best Wishes to you both x

Thanks Jenny xx

SueCC,he sounds like a real battler.

Thanks Steve, yes he is, I think it’s his army training, he did 22 years he doesn’t dwell on things says he’ll worry if the time comes like he did with his other cancers, I just wish I was like that. Your16 doesn’t seem very high after all the googling I’ve done.. Good luck and let us know how you get on X

SueCC yes it sounds like it. It'd almost like he's been programmed to switch off from certain things maybe? I wish I was like that!
