Anyone have a positive Cologuard test?

Posted by dazlin @dazlin, Nov 21, 2019

My test results came back positive. I asked what did it show, because they test for 11 different cancers or categories. They said, it just states either negative or positive for cancer. I had problems a few years back and did a colonoscopy, which came back ok. Now this!! I'm reading theres a 13 percent chance of false positive. Right now I'm extremely distraught about having to go through all Consults, tests, and dreaded preps. Orders are in for Consult with gastro, but they're booked out through January or February in Mayo. I have not received any notice for appointment yet. Dont know what to think or do.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Colorectal Cancer Support Group.

I have the cologuard test kit ordered by my GI doc. Last month I had Virtual Colonography. Results showed tortuous colon. My visit to doc in March was to report change in BM's: narrow stool. I've had DX of IBS since 2001 following hysterectomy due to fibroid pressure on bladder. After last colonoscopy in 2018 my then GI doc removed one tiny negative polyp, saying that would be the last scoping I'd need. I'm 82!
Many favorable promos for Cologuard. Yet results come back either positive or negative without any other information.
