Have I got Colon cancer

For two weeks had pains when passing stools which were small and often but pain went after passing stools. Eventually took some castor oil to clear myself out and bowels now seem ok. Booked an appointment with GP just to check and she ordered a FIT test which came back positive 15. Have always suffered from hard stools and hemmerrhoids but now convinced have cancer as GP has put me on 2 we fast track for Colonoscopy. I am 67.Anybody else had these symptoms and if so what was the outcome.

  • Hi I had a fit test because of various symptoms and mine was 15 also which is very low considering it can go up into the high hundreds so try not to worry too much ,I was put on the 2ww and had a colonoscopy which turned out to be nothing serious ,they found I had Diverticulitis a polyp and Fibroid and then referred me back to my GP ,but it is best to have it checked as a precaution .
