Positive Fit Test

Hi everyone, so I have been having some trouble with my bowels, what started out with what we thought was viral gastroenteritis I had lingering issues. Cramps, and urgency to open my bowels and some pain in lower left abdomen. Dr did blood tests etc and a normal stool sample and these were OK. They then asked me to do a fit test, I was called into Dr's and told this has come back positive last Thursday the 24th. I received a call today with an appointment fora colonoscopy on 24th July. Can anyone advise on similar experience, and outcomes other than cancer, also what to expect with colonoscopy I am very nervous about it all. Thank you so much.

  • Hi,

     

    I had a positive FIT test of over 300 and they found a polyp which was removed during the colonoscopy and sent for histology which I'm still waiting to come back.

     

    FIT test just shows blood in the stool and can mean anything really, not necessarily cancer.

     

    hope you colonoscopy goes well, the thought was worse than the procedure x
