FIT Test

[PatsyB]

Has any one had a FIT test I had my bloods checked a few weeks ago and I was found to be anaemic so had to have more blood tests and a FIT test (sample of poo sent to lab) that came back as high so am now waiting for further investigations..... anyone else had one of these??

Hi there

Yes, I had a FIT test a few weeks ago as part of a raft of other investigations. Fortunately mine came back within the normal range, so no further action was warranted.

As I understand it’s a way of flagging up the need for additional investigations at the earliest possible stage. How long do you have to wait for your next appointment?
