Positive FIT test -400

 

Just had a call from the doc saying I need an urgent referral to a gastroenterologist as my fit test result was abnormally high - 400ug??

Had a lot of fresh blood recently but optimisticly thought it was due to piles or fissures? 

Currently under a haematologist for other issues but now wondering if they are linked.

Waiting for lymph node biopsy and colonoscopy- weird times!!

Has anyone else's results been linked to something less sinister such as fissures etc?

 

 

  • Hello Alviiin and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I am so sorry to hear you have been given an urgent referral due to high FIT test results.  I hope that you won't have to wait too long for the colonoscopy and the lymph nodes biopsy. I know it's really hard but try if you can not to anticipate what may be causing these issues as there could be so many explanations other than cancer - it won't be long now until you get some clarity and definite answers. It's good that this is being investigated and try if you can to resist the urge to look things up online as Dr Google is famously unreliable :wink: It's normal to be tempted to look for answers though as the wait can seem agonisingly long - there are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news.

    I hope that you will hear from other forum members who have had similar FIT results before and that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you.  

    Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern.

    Best wishes,
