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

    Thanks for that, sorry to hear about your situation but sounds like everything is happening quite quickly for you. Yes, it seems other things can cause the high results too, fingers crossed. All the best to you.
