Hi, I had a fit test which was 289, which is quite high, my stool sample was 314 normal range is 49.i go toilet around 7-12 times a day!! there’s blood when I wipe and blood in the stool and in the pan. Pain in left abdomen which comes and goes  And a rash on my shins, am waiting on a colonoscopy which is next week, I am terrified. 

was wondering if anyone else has had the same or similar and what the outcome was. 
Thankyou

    Hello Shan786, 

    I just wanted to wish you the best of luck for next week and share information with you from our website to help you prepare for the colonoscopy. It's normal to be scared but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and so many members of our community have posted here before to share their fears after receiving high FIT test results. The important thing to remember though is that this doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer as other conditions can also cause elevated results. You did the right thing though given your symptoms to get this properly investigated and I am keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing too concerning. Waiting for tests and than again for results is always a very anxious time and I thought I would share with you our helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    I will now let our members who have been through the colonoscopy process before come and say hello and share their experience with you. 

    Best wishes,
