Hi,

Hope you are all well. I've had a positive FIT test result and also have had low iron anemia for years. I just wanted some advise because someone from the hospital contacted me a few days after I took a FIT test and this was on a Saturday. She didn't really giving anything away or telling me about my FIT result but just said someone will be in contact urgently in a couple of days (which they was). I found this pretty bizarre as I was expecting a result after a week or so and not over the weekend. It just honestly has left me very worried. I'm very young, mid twenties and I'm not sure how to feel. I know that bowel cancer is a rare occurrence for people my age but that call has honestly left me very uneasy. I was told by a nurse that I was being booked for an urgent colonoscopy a couple of days after the previous call and that's about it but the wait for my colonoscopy is just over three weeks. I just wanted to know if it is normal procedure for the hospital to contact a patient directly over the weekend after a positive FIT result. My GP did not contact me so I'm just curious.
