Positive FIT of 24

I had an FIT test (the poop sample) last week and on my patient record it says, should I worry about my FIT of 24?? I'm very scared of my doctor's appointment on Thursday. I know it's very unlikely that it is cancer. I don't know if it is related but recently diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia and am currently on Ferrous Fumarate. Any advice would really help me calm my nerves.

  • I don’t know if this is any help sunsetDawn, my husband had a blood test, low iron was found and anemia so a FIT test was done, came back at 63 that’s still not very high but obviously had to have a colonoscopy as it above 10, (and he’s 80 year old) he had that yesterday, 6 polyps was found and took off, they said they all look fine even the 18mm one. Obviously gets sent for biopsy. Hope this helps a bit xx
