Positive FIT at 25

Hi, 

Hope it's ok to post here- just looking for some advice/support. 
I'm 25 and noticed blood on my stool a few weeks ago. Have also been having softer stool and bowel habits have changed (in a vague way). I went to see the GP and he done a rectal exam (no haemorrhoids) and an abdo exam (couldn't feel anything). He sent 3 stool packs and my FIT test has come back abnormal. Other was normal and still waiting for calprotectin. 
 

I am worried out of my mind, can't focus and it's all I think about. I've completely prepared myself for worst case scenario. Just wondering if people have experienced similar and it's not turned out to be cancer? 
 

Thank you

  • Hi Ab0403,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can see you've posted elsewhere on the forum and received some helpful replies which is great. Try not to assume anything at this point - hopefully you'll find out more soon from your doctor and this should give you the answers you need, as well as an opportunity to talk things through.

    While waiting to hear more it often helps to keep busy and to focus on things you enjoy, to help keep your mind off the worries.

    Wishing you all the best,
