Fit test results high .

Wonder if someone can answer this please I got a score of 28 with the fit test, but before I took the test I could see bright red blood on the stool , the fit test looks for hidden blood in stool , with there being red blood on the stool would the fit test give a higher reading picking this blood up ?  Hope I'm making sense thank you . I have an appointment for colonoscopy in couple of weeks .

  • Hi Bobyouruncle and welcome to the forum.

    I noticed no-one has got back to you yet so I just wanted to give you our cancer nurses telephone number as they may be in a better position to help. If you'd like to speak with them, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They are very easy to talk to and will do all they can to help.

    I hope you're able to get some answers and peace of mind soon over this soon, and that all goes well with your colonoscopy when the time comes. 

    Kind regards,
