How common do positive stool samples result in a cancer diagnosis? My husband has been called in by the dr as had positive result, dr has requested a colonoscopy within 2 weeks - is that the usual procedure?
Hi I had this last year and yes it is very scary all sorts go through your head ,I went for a Colonoscopy within the 2 weeks and they told me straight away what they'd found and it was nothing serious they found I had Diverticulitis a polyp and fibroid ,its much more likely that its something very simple rather than cancer ,but yes this is the normal procedure if the test is above 10 .

Thank you for taking the time to post, I’m glad your diagnosis turned out ok. And that it seems the normal timescale for a colonoscopy I think it will be a long 2 weeks but keeping hopeful
