Positive FIT test, feeling worried

Hi all,

I had the doctor phone me this evening to tell me that my FIT test result was more than 190 (positive is above 10). I have no symptoms apart from having had blood in my poo 2 weeks ago hence the visit to the doctor. I am 52, currently marathon training and feeling healthy but am now totally terrified. I am being fast tracked for a colonoscopy within 2 weeks.

I know I need to stop reading stuff online about the results etc. but I am glad I stumbled on this Forum. I have no question to ask really just feel I need to express myself and hopefully hear back from someone who may be able to ease my thoughts.

Thanks in advance and hope you are all ok.

    I had a fit score of 168 with no real symptoms other than a bit of blood and mucus still feel ok which is scary , had a colonoscopy and was told i had a 5 cm tumour having an operation soon , just make sure you follow up on your appointments , I cannot ease your thoughts but bear in mind lots of other things can cause a high fit score so try not to worry unless there is something to worry about, good luck
