Hi, all! My mother (62) have positive i-FOBT test (FIT) and she is waiting for colonoscopy. (PREVIOUS FIT test was negative 1,5 years ago)
She is feeling fine - no other symptoms, if only occasionaly diarhera, when eating too much of something - for example apples, but that can be linked with medications for higher-sugar levels, because that started when she started taking those pills. She doesnt have diabetes, but she neeeds to take pills, so her sugar level stays ok.
She did blood test, everything is in normals levels. (Erythrocits and hemoglobin are ok, which indicates no anemia). When she was young, she worked as bus driver, and there was times when she couldnt get to WC, because of work, so she got frequent constipation which even stretched rectum, so now she never wait for going to toilet. I am pretty sure she has to have some hemorrhoids, because of that.
I know that we just have to wait for colonoscopy, but just for peace of mind wanted to ask:
What do you think - is it (or how likely) colon cancer or some other condition? Because mostly I see on forums people who asks about fit + they have other symptoms, and even then mostly they dont have anything serious after colonoscopy, but my mom doesnt even have symptoms. Get what I mean?
I am optimistic in case of cancer, because even if she have it, than maybe it will be caught early stage (I / II). But some reassurance could be ok 
Thank you Karen for reply! Yes, i agree that there is no other way to just wait and hope for the best.
Yes, I will be update as soon as possible. For now colonoscopy date is 02.09, so a pretty anxious week ahead
Oh, I am sorry for you, but i hope everything will be fine Maybe you have only stage 1 or 2 which is pretty treatable as far as i know
Did it was your first FIT test? Please tell about your story more - ok, no symptoms, but maybe family history ?
Sorry for my asking, but how old are you?
Situation update:
All good. In sigmoid colon was two benign small polips 2 mm and 3mm big, both got cut out and they even didnt send them to histology. + There also was sigmoid colon diverticulosis, so big chance that is result for positive FIT. Mother got praise for good job keeping colon cleeean before appoitment. She said that drinking colon cleaning medication day before wasnt even that bad. Gp give her Fortrans.
Hope this helps someone :)
