Positive FIT test

Hi, 

just looking for a bit of support and advice,

i have had a positive FIT test, it was only 24 but cant stop worrying. Doctor referred me to the hospital but they have replied saying they will not do a colonoscopy as they do not think its likely to be cancer. I would rather they had a look so i could know what was going on. Has anyone been in a similar situation? 39 year old 

  • Hi Demismum2025 and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about the positive FIT test you've had and that the hospital are unwilling to carry out a colonoscopy. This must be very frustrating.

    Many members of our community have been in a similar position so they will definitely understand what you're going through at the moment, and hopefully some of them will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    We also have a team of cancer nurses you can talk to on 0808 800 4040. They will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease so do give them a call if you feel this will help. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m

    We know how stressful and worrying this time must be Demismum2025, but I hope the comfort and support you receive here will help make things a little bit easier whilst this is going on.

    Kind regards,
