I've recently had a positive FIT test and have now to go for a colonoscopy...I've had no symptoms apart from loose stools and tiredness..should I be worried
Probably not. Lots of things can cause those symptoms and a FIT test only tests for blood in the stool. It isn't a cancer test. It could be something serious like cancer or IBD or diverticulitis, but it could also be something like IBS or a polyp or an infection.
From what I've read online, I think the odds of cancer are about 10%.
