FIT of 200

Hi

i recently had a fit result of 200 and have been put on the 2ww, this after unexpected weight loss.  I’m only 36 so worried as I have a young family but I do have a great support network.  I have been booked for a CT scan before a colonoscopy.  Is this normal?

    Had the standard CT scan yesterday and got colonoscopy booked for 6th also got blood tests booked in, I feel like the amount of tests are suggesting that they think it is pretty much gona be cancer, or am I just thinking the worst?

  • Hi Geordiedad and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear your recent FIT test was high and for the worry this is causing.

    It sounds like the tests you've been referred for are standard procedure but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope it helps to know that many of our members have been in your position, so you are not alone, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to share their experiences and advice.

    I'm not sure from your post if you have had a colonoscopy before, but if you haven't and would like to find out more, then do be sure to have a look at this page on our website.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
