FIT test results

Good morning, 

My fit test results have come back >400. I am aware what is happening next but I guess my question is..Can internal piles or fissures cause it to be this high or is it likely its something else. I have googled and all I can find is a test of that result has an 80% chance of cancer. Please help

  • Hello Glw38

    I'm sorry to hear that your recent FIT test has come back with a raised result. It's understandable that you're feeling concerned. 

    We know that many people turn to the internet to search for answers during times of uncertainty. Often what happens is they are left feeling more anxious and still with no firm answers so for now, if you can, try to avoid searching online. 

    You may find it useful to chat through your concerns and questions with one of our nurses. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support they can whilst you're waiting for the next steps in the diagnosis process. If you would like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm (excluding bank holidays) on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope you have some answers soon. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
