Your qfit test isn't that high compared to others I've seen on here, and your symptoms could be down to a multitude of things. It's obviously a worry that you may be genetically predisposed to certain types of cancer but at the same time you have invaluable knowledge that most other people don't have abs can take preventative measures if you do have lunch syndrome such as regular colonoscopy and other checks to prevent or detect cancer. 
have you been refered for further checks yet? 

thank you so much for replying :happy:

your message has made me feel better about this ordeal definitely. in my head, I think that the chance it's cancer isn't as likely and it's more likely to be something else. I think I'm just shocked that I even tested positive for the qFIT for my age. but it's true that the number could be a lot higher... I hope that it'll be something not as serious.

and yeah, it seems there can be positives to lynch syndrome in regular checks, I think the downside is the cancers are usually more aggressive and grow a lot faster. I worry about the life my aunts and uncles lived going through cancer young and dying from it in the end. but there's a lot of progress made nowadays, so it's probably a lot more manageable.

honestly, I really feel a lot better about it just having someone give another perspective so thank u! I have an update yes, I went to hospital as my stomach pain got a lot worse. I just wanted relief from the agony, but it died down a bit during when I was seen. The doctor I saw was lovely and very understanding. He said GPs aren't really as equipped to deal with complex cases because appointment times are so short. He asked about my family history and looked at my health records and said he'd talk to his boss to see what they could do, as they're a bit powerless with speeding up the referral process themselves. He came back and said they would mention 3 main things in a letter to me GP. First was that considering my weight loss, positive qFIT test and my family history, that him and his boss strongly recommend that I get an urgent referral to a gastrolgist. He also said that they put in the list that I need to be referred to a genecist myself too as soon as possible, as it wasn't normal for so many of my mum's siblings to have cancer young. Then they said that I need a referral for the lump on my neck too, just to make sure. He also mentioned something about possibly also an ENT specialist... I really am so grateful for having such an understanding doctor help me out. So things are hopefully going in the right direction. The gp makes the decision in the end, but I think their recommendations will help my case to be seen quickly. I won't be able to speak to one till next Friday though, I'll update how that goes xx

I have a lot of the similar symptoms that you do including pain in my abdomen for three weeks and a knotting contraction tight feeling in the lower right side, it's a very specific area and that's what made me more concerned than anything. It felt like appendicitis but they couldn't find anything wrong I went to ER over 4 times they must have been sick of seeing me. 
luckily that pain has now gone but the knotting feeling comes back, usually I get most of my through the night or early morning when I haven't yet eaten so it's very strange. 
I saw a private specialist who said CC is unlikely and although my father had bowel cancer (my consultant was my dads surgeon and saved his life) due to my fathers age there doesn't suggest a generic link. 
 

also I think the more you do worry the more it makes these symptoms worse especially to do with the stomach abs bowel area. 
 

I didn't end up doing a fit test and am going straight for colonoscopy as consultant said no pount doing a fit test if I've seen blood. I'm only 29 so not much older than you and never had to worry about things like bowel cancer before I thought it was something only older people got, 

will keep you posted about my colonoscopy and results x
