Worried. FIT test came back at 200. Is this a bad sign?

Good morning,, I've just had a telephone consultation, I was told my fit test came back at 200.  is this a bad sign ? I have to have a colonoscopy in the next 2 weeks,  any advice ? x

  • Husband had his FIat results today. Had blood in his stools almost 3 weeks ago which he got checked ASAP with his GP. Ordered him a FIT test. Had the results via face to face with GP earlier today. Strongly positive ( I'm assuming this means lots of blood) number was 90 and has been referred for 2 week appointment with colorectal department at hospital. So upset and worried. I don't want him to have cancer. 

  • Hi Lunarlou, it’s so easy to think the worse in these situations, I know cause I did too. However, try not to worry as he’s been fast tracked and will be getting answers within 2 weeks. 
    My fit test was positive and was 400 which is mega high, however I had my colonoscopy today and no mass or evidence of malignancy was found! ️ there are so many things that can cause the bleeding so keep positive! Good luck to you both for good news x
