Hello Mnic74

I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been referred for a colonoscopy following a raised FIT test and other blood results. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

Is it possible that the anxiety you're feeling is contributing to the stomach cramps and diarrhoea that you've had the past few days? If these symptoms haven't settled then do get in touch with your GP for some advice and support. 

If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

I hope that your colonoscopy next week brings some reassurance. Let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes,

Hi Jenn,

Thank you so much for the kind message, I really appreciate it.

I will update after my colonoscopy next week.

If it's any reassurance, 13 is only very slightly positive. The cut off is 10 and many people get results in the 100s. 

Thank you for the reassurance MargaretMary, I appreciate it. Just can't seem to get it out of my mind. My anxiety just takes over sometimes.
