Bowel cancer. FIT results

I am very confused now and waiting on a diagnosis. Had blood with diarrhea and then loose stools  over two weeks ago. Gp referred me and also did a FIT which results over the tel state a tiny trace of blood but nclassed as negative.  Have appt with consultant next week to discuss. Trying not to freak out as been worried sick for weeks as had loose stools for some time. Does anyone know what this means blood but negative ? 

  • Hello Goldensc, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope that your appointment with your consultant goes well next week. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to interpret these results yourself or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been in a similar situation before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
