Anyone had an abnormal Cologard and got referred for colonoscopy?

Don't understand stress of Cologuard. To me it is reassurance. I need colonoscopy every 5 yrs due to polyps. My dr does cologuard in between. I had a positive - showed polyp. Had colonoscopy to remove- precancer. If I hadn't had it done, by next colonoscopy would have been cancer.

Cons:
Not as accurate.
Can't determine what you have.

I have colonoscopy every 3 years, same as Cologuard. They developed the Cologuard to get people to screen since so many don't.

Cologuard is better than nothing. Many reports on here about the test's stress inducing impact when ++ result is found. Many times false ++. If it is working for you great but for many people better just to get the colonoscopy.
