One week to my colonoscopy and anxiety setting in. Good vibes appreciated!

Nope, first colonoscopy for me. I've been doing the FIT or blood occult cards for about 9 years now. This is my first positive result.

I think the percentage is something like 96% of positive FIT results are not cancer. It's most likely to be bleeding from piles, fissures, ulcers - that kind of thing. But health anxiety will always go to the worst (and least likely) scenario - which is cancer. Colonoscopy is a cert after a positive FIT test but given that you're waiting three months to have it, I'm thinking that they're not worried about this at all - especially given your clear bloods which haven't revealed anaemia or anything like that, and even then anaemia doesn't mean cancer because my husband was very anaemic but no cancer. What anaemia means is that you do get fast-tracked and my husband was seen within 2 weeks.

look forward to finding out it's nothing so I can fret about some other non-existent illness.

Or you can sort your HA out?
