Anyone have a positive Cologuard test?

Yes. I have a family history of colon cancer, and I should get a colonoscopy, but I have a terrible fear of anesthesia - so, I do FIT and COLOGUARD tests yearly.

This was the first time one came back positive (cologuard) and I had to schedule a follow up colonoscopy. It was a tense month waiting for an appointment for the test, to say the least. My colonoscopy was called normal. One small hemorrhoid and no polyps.

I will not criticize the Cologuard or FIT tests, as I probably would not have ever just gone in for a routine colonoscopy. The false positive was a blessing.

Great news! I too was very concerned about the colonoscopy and that delay gave me Stage 3 cancer. It's likely that the FIT missed it but the Cologuard picked it up.

So how did the sedative go?

you mentioned you were scared of that.
