@pops74, it's natural to worry. Cologuard can give a false positive. It may also be a signal to have a colonoscopy that can remove any polyps, including those that may be pre-canerous. Colon cancer grows very slowly.

Did your doctor recommend a colonoscopy?

Yes scheduled 8-16. I have a question! I had a CT with contrast about a year ago now. In that report they say that the colon looks good. Is that any indication at all. I have read that it COULD detect cancer but not the gold standard.
