Hi there just looking for some reassurance really.

I've probably noticed blood in my stool and sometimes on the paper for a few years now.

I've not had any other symptoms at all and because of that and being a typical bloke I've always self diagnosed as nothing to worry about.

Nothing physically has changed, no weight loss, stomach cramps literally nothing barring bright red blood on the paper occasionally and visual signs of some blood in the stool.

I don't know why I waited but something just dropped, maybe age, I'm 46 now and I decided to get it checked out.

After a couple of rectal examinations by my GP nothing was found and after a course of suppositories nothing changed.

They advised a stool FIT test to rule out anything nasty.

The stool test failed as I knew it would and I've been told my score was 400.

I've had a call from a collecteral nurse this morning who is going to book me in for a colonoscopy sometime next week.

She was very nice and obviously told me not to worry as it could be lots of things but I can't help fearing the worse.

Just wanted to know if any other people have had high scores that turned out to be harmless?

Besides myself with worry as I have 2 young kids.

Any help or positive outcomes from similar situations greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Andy
