Hi, I can't believe I am back on this site, 5 years ago I was going through prostate cancer, now I am back on here looking at possible bowel cancer, I have just had a raised fit test result. 55 is this high?

Sorry to hear you have a raised FIT result. I guess just keep in mind that that is testing for blood in the stool, not specifically for cancer. And lots of things can cause blood in stool. As far as I know, most people with a raised FIT don't have cancer. I know it is hard not to focus on that possibility though.
As regards whether it's high, I think some people get numbers in the 100s, so it's not extreme or anything.
Thankyou for taking the time to reply
