Positive FIT & referral

Hi all,

I was hoping someone could share some information or experiences. I originally went to my dr as I thought I felt a lump, long story short they thought it was my gallbladder then after fit tests that came back high and abnormal.

Now im in the 2 week pathway and was expecting to get a letter for an appointment but I received a text that I am first getting a phone call can anyone explain why? I also had to fill out forms and one option was asking me what operation I was having.

Im confused and don't know what to expect. Ive had tummy problems for a while but they were getting worse, bad toilet moments, a lot of pains and bloating, etc basicly all cancer symptoms minus massive weight loss although I have lost some. 

Im only 32 and have 2 small boys, and the waiting and not understanding what is happening next is setting my brain in overdrive but trying to look cool calm and collected to the small few I have told.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi you normally get a phone call first if you are waiting to have a Colonoscopy ,they normally ring to ask a few questions and to give you a date for your Colonoscopy ,I'm sure that's what it will be ,that's what happened to me and 2 occasions .

    Thank you for this, I think with them not even telling me what I need to have done Its caused more stress or wondering if i was just going to get fobbed off. I was sent the the hospital originally with pain in my tummy and was denied a scan because "i wasn't in enough pain" according to the hospital when I was sent there not like I turned up. Thank you for sharing your experience im sure this will be the case :)
