Hi although your test is over the cut off point of 10 its still very low as it can go up to the high hundreds ,Ive just had a Colonoscopy due to my test being 51 and I was told on the day of my Colonoscopy that everything looked fine although they did take a couple of biopsies to test for other things as I do have Diverticulitis ,i would say its a good thing that they are checking you out it will give you peace of mind one way or another ,If you need to know anything else just ask I hope things go well for you .

Hi, thanks for the reply. Peace of mind that would be nice. I had a ct scan 2 weeks ago for a possible brain tumour. That was ok but the anxiety is just overwhelming. I said to my other half, if this is ok, I'm not going near a doctor for years. I didn't think the number really meant a huge deal. If you had a reading of 11 they would still send you for a colonoscopy. When I saw the PA he wasn't even going to send me. It was the GP who told him a positive test regardless of the reading meant referral. Although I guess it does indicate how much haemoglobin is in your stool. As I understand it the national screening test for bowel cancer is 120ug. Cheers

Yes I'm sure my online test results mentioned something about only if its over 40ug and it was ,I'm waiting for CT scan results and I've said to myself something similar to you if that's clear I don't want any more tests forever if at all possible lol 

Thanks for the reply. I've just heard back from the hospital they are not sending me for an immediate colonoscopy, despite what the GP said. Apparently they review each case and grade it. I'm booked in for a 15 minute appointment with a specialist in December. Presumably they will do one at some point. They obviously don't regard it as particularly urgent. So I guess that's something, maybe.

Maybe get some questions ready to ask whilst you're there its a good opportunity so that you know what they intend to do and when .
