Anyone have a positive Cologuard test?

Only 5% of cologuard positives actually result in cancer. That being said just work through the process, have the colonoscopy as soon as you can just remember it's all part of life!

Thank you so much for your kindness I am researching doctors at nyu. I am nervous about undergoing surgery and anesthesia. But, on the otherhand I don't want to be awake

i am a 72 year old , non smoking , healthy man, with no cancer history. i had
a positive cologuard, and the most stressful part of it, was the fact i could not get to my colonoscopy for a couple months.
but i had the colonoscopy and i had, blessidly a couple non cancerous polyps.
in retrospect i realize it is better to have a false positive with cologuard than
a false negative.
when i got my bill, i was charged for the polyp removal. it is extra. i asked the
doctor at my follow up if i could have the polyps restored, to save the charge?
just kidding.
Good luck
