FIT Test of 107 -

Hi, I am 33 years old and I've had loose stools/diarrhea for about 6-8months. I finally plucked up the courage to go to the doctors when away on holiday I felt a sudden need for the loo, got there and the bowl was full of bright red blood and diarrhea. It really worried me. 

Other than that, only symptoms are an uneven mix of constipation and loose. No weight lost, no more fatigue than normal, feeling fine within myself. 

Fit test came back at 107 but all other bloods were fine. Really working myself over it as I had 2 small children and terrified of the result. Booked in for a colonoscopy next week but my mind is doing overtime as I now have a persistent dull ache at the bottom of my back and around my tummy only since Thursday though. I'm wondering if this is caused by worry as I haven't had this symptom before. 

Please pray for me

  • Sorry to hear you are going through this. As you probably know, it could be lots of things and at your age, cancer probably isn't the most likely, but it's bound to be worrying.

    I will say that I often get symptoms around my neck when I have an appointment related to having had thyroid cancer. I often find my neck hurts or I think I feel a lump and so far, in the nearly six years since my operation, I have had no reccurrence. Just saying this to say that it is common to start...not exactly imagining symptoms but noticing things when an appointment is coming up so I wouldn't be TOO worried about anything that just came up after you got your result.

  • Thank you for your reply. Its more the waiting, not knowing. I am really hoping for the best after reading on here some people have had much worse results from a FIT test and results from colonoscopy have come back as nothing too serious that can't be treated. 

    I hope you are well and hope you stay I  remission
