Hi male 31 here

recently done fit test and recieved my results saying 1329 ug/g

I feel like that's a really bad score when I look up everyone else's and compare it to theirs

I am currently on the 2 week wait for the camera up the rear.

Nervous 

  • Hi Happy and welcome to the group. I've had several colonoscopies and for various reasons wasn't able to take the sedative until the last one. It made a huge difference! I was as nervous as usual before but they gave me the sedative on the table and then I have no memory of proceedings until I was in recovery! If you can, take the sedative :)  

  • Hi  and a warm welcome to the group. Yes that is quite a high score but doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s bowel cancer but it does mean that they’ve detected blood in your stool and need to investigate the cause.

    Hopefully you’ll get an appointment through quickly and please keep us updated?

    Take care
