I had a GP ordered fit test in May that was negative however I have recently done the screening one and that has come back positive. I do have piles and had a slight bleed the day before I did the test due to rough toilet paper. My rational head tells me that it was probably that and it affected to test but having had breast cancer 8 years ago I suffer from extreme anxiety around any testing . Just like to hear from others who had a positive fit then a clear colonoscopy as my mind is in overdrive. Thank in advance

UPDATE: Had my colonoscopy yesterday all clear no polyps or anything just the piles so hopefully this will give a little bit of comfort to anyone else who gets the positive result from a fit test.

  • I have been living with and treated for 3 cancers since 1999…… My last FIT tests was positive so I was fully checked out but this was put down to piles…… although I was eventually diagnosed with Prostate Cancer back in April so in a way I am glad that my last FIT was positive.

  • Buddy, My story, I went to donate blood in August and was knocked back as I was iron deficient.

    My GP did full bloods and confirmed, I also did an urgent Fit and blood was found where it should not have been,

    My wife had a hideous colonoscopy in january and I was so scared 

    I had the procedure the worst bit was the prep, they found one polyp which they removed and a second one was removed three weeks later. The surgeon said he saw nothing to worry about and i am back in three years,

    My advice is get the procedure and get it sorted 

    I am so relieved
