BC CT advice

Hi all just after some advice.

My FIT test came back positive, I was referred to a consultant one week ago, the consultant said he would arrange a ct scan and colonoscopy within 3 weeks.

I have been lucky I got a cancellation CT scan last Friday and called today to say my colonoscopy would be on the 18th.

I've been poorly for sometime and not feeling great the worry doesn't help...can anyone advise if I will get my CT results prior to my colonoscopy or will I get everything all at once. If it's bad news or indeed good when will I be told.

Would they even do the colonoscopy if it was clear? Or is something there that's why the called and booked me in today?

My partner thinks because I've not heard anything it must be good news and I shouldn't worry.

Also realistically if the FIT test is positive should I be expecting a positive diagnos? 

 

it's awful waiting any advice would be appreciated 

thanks 

 

  • Hi CarterBpool and welcome to the forum.

    As you've mentioned, the waiting is very tough but you may be able to get a rough idea of when you'll get your CT results if you get in touch with the department that carried out the scan.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been on this journey will offer their support to you soon but in the meantime I want to wish you all the best for the 18th and share some information we have about the colonoscopy.

    Fingers crossed the results of both tests bring good news when the time comes.

    Kind regards,
