Hello Charlotte.B, 

Seeing red blood in your poo can be very distressing especially as it went on for two weeks. It's reassuring that your bloods were ok and your urine tests but it seems that they have decided to do further investigations after your FIT test came back positive - this is not surprising as the tests looks for traces of blood in your poo but it doesn't necessarily mean it is cancer as blood can be caused by so many other conditions especially at such a young age as yours. However it is important to investigate things properly so it's good that you have been referred for further tests. A great number of forum members have had these tests and they have also come back positive and I hope that they will come and share their experience with you. 

I hope it won't be too long a wait to be seen for further tests and I am keeping everything crossed for you that it turns out to be nothing of concern. 

Best wishes,
