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.

    You probably shouldn't be too worried. 24 isn't all that high and while I am no expert here and could be wrong, I think cancer is more likely with very high results, like in the hundreds.

    As you probably know, many things can cause blood in stool and cancer is nowhere near the most likely.

    I know even a small chance of cancer is really worrying though.
