Sent in stool sample last Thursday and Friday Dr contacted me to say blood levels in stool were 47 ( normal range 0-2). Said would be referred for colonoscopy and met criteria for 2 week urgent appointment. Not slept very well since Friday when he called. 

I jump everytime my phone goes.

    Hi

    Blood levels in fit test could be a number of things, piles, a tear, diverticulitis etc.

    Because of this result they have to be on the safe side and rule out cancer. This is why you have been sent on a 2 week pathway. Not because they think it is cancer.

    My friend found a breast lump and the same with her, 2 weeks of hell and everything was fine.

    One day at a time and the best thing about this test is you get the results on the day.

    Try to not let it spoil christmas for you. x
