Hi Owenp and a warm welcome to our forum, 

It can imagine you are feeling rather distressed after finding out you have elevated FIT test results and you might be interested in reading the information we have on our website on the FIT test and to bear in mind that a positive FIT test result doesn't mean you have cancer as there are many other conditions that could also cause a test result of 819.

I hope the news isn't affecting you too much or spoiling your enjoyment of being in sunny Spain - only a couple of days now until your appointment on the 21st and I hope that you will get some answers soon as to what is causing these bowel issues. Just yesterday I welcomed another member to our forum who is currently going through the same thing as you and I thought you two might like to connect and share experiences. Have a read of Kaz1965 's recent thread on their FIT test results as they are, just like you, waiting to have an appointment to discuss results. Don't hesitate to respond to their thread and to share your story as it helps sometimes to talk to someone who is in a similar place. 

Wishing you the best of luck for your appointment and keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern. 

Best wishes,
