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. 

Thinking of you for the 17th November. It is an anxious wait. The advice and the comfort I got from this chat helped me through the process. People on here are just so understanding and compassionate and have their own stories to tell. Let us know how you get on on the 17th Nov xx

Thank you, Flower. I am hugely relieved but will continue with the annual screenings offered. My gran had bowel cancer and my mum has had issues on and off with her bowels. She is now 83. My dad who is 87, bless him, went for a colonoscopy in September this year to the same hospital. He was so relaxed about it all. So it seemed. He has diverticulitis too and haemorrhoids and few polyps removed. I knew what to expect then as he went through the process. Keep me updated on your treatment, Flower. I am rooting for you xxx

Thank you for caring. I will report back after my colonoscopy on the 17th

Just received a phone call I have my colonoscopy on 16 November at Scunthorpe (anyone been there) just waiting for a phone call to pick up the drink thingy from Grimsby, was hoping the colonoscopy would be nearer home but hey I’ll go with that. Good luck to us all xxx

Yes wishing you all the very best. I feel a little more optimistic now because spoke to nurse today (still not received letter) and ct scan picked up thickening of transverse and sigmoid colon which could be caused by a number of conditions which are treatable. 

Good luck with colonoscopy prep. Yuk

How are you feeling after colonoscopy today.  Been thinking about you. 

I am on horrendous prep, not nice

Hi and thanks for thinking of me, I found the prep to be ok-ish not as bad as I thought,  In the fridge for an hour drinking  through a straw 4 slurps of it then a mouth full of Lucazade worked well for me. Apart from 6am one, prep was ok but then I drank the water too fast so I could get back in bed and brought the whole lot back up, even so the bowel was clean BUT I never want that again, it took ages and so so painful but think that’s just me as the lady who went in after me was ok and back out before too long so don’t worry about that. One polyp took off it wasn’t cancer so now it’s over I’m sat at home very happy. 
Will you let me know how you get on and I’m sending you all the best, take care it’ll all be over very soon xx

Colonoscopy didn't happen.  I followed all the diet restrictions prior and took the disgusting solution as directed but bowel not cleared enough! I was disappointed because I had geared myself up for procedure and then made to feel it was my fault.  

Now they want me to take a laxative for 5 days with a restricted diet, then the awful prep solution again!

Really don't want to do it. Also, nurse at colonoscopy centre said it looks like I have diverticulitis and one small polyp??.  Hearing this is good but only makes me not want to go through it all again. 

It really is dragging out now and I feel if it was serious then I would be experiencing more symptoms by now.

My colonoscopy this morning didn't happen.  Even though I  followed the diet and drank the awful prep solution as instructed,  my bowel wasn't prepared enough for colonoscopy to go ahead. I had geared myself up for this morning procedure,  so feel very down hearted.

Now they want me to take a laxative for 5 days, follow a restricted diet and then take the prep solution again!!

I just don't want to do it, especially after a nurse this morning told me its looking like diverticulitis.??   I really don't want to go through it all again.

Ahh that’s not good and I know what you mean by wondering if you should do a second one, think I’d be the same but you know you must do it, if you followed all the 4 days before prep I can’t understand why it didn’t work but I guess it does happen. Get the big girl nicker on and go for it again.  I also have diverticulitis nothing to worry about he said but to change my diet. Hope everything goes ok next time xx
