  • Hi Hariett,

    I too have been referred for a 2WW colonoscopy, mine is on Tuesday. I am so scared! My fit test was positive at 400! My faecal calprotectin was negative so I do not have IBD so even more worrying! 
    what are your symptoms? I have a lot of abdominal pain, acid reflux, severe bloating, belching, change in bowel habit and coccyx pain. 
    good luck for your colonoscopy!

  • Hi Lisa my FIT tests were 112, 129 and now over 200 so going up all the time. My calorotectin was borderline at 93 so not sure what that means exactly. I also have bowel wall thickening so that’s worrying too and just found out my nan had colon cancer so even more worrying! I have stomach pains occasionally but I feel more worried about the high fit test, bowel thickening and family history of colon cancer. I’m waiting for a date for my colonoscopy - good luck on Tuesday - let us know how it goes x
