I just did my cologuard test and it came back with abnormal results. So I’m still numb from reading that online. I was told my results were sent to my Dr that ordered it and that I will most likely get a call from him to schedule an appt with gastroenterologist.

It’s been only 4 days since I got the results and waiting for Dr to call before end v of week. It it’s Wednesday. If I get no call then I will call him. My insurance allows for me to make these kind of appts if there is a legitimate reason, I don’t need a referral from my Dr. so I am not allowing myself to be terrified about the results, which is very hard to do.

I’ve already told my daughter and she’s been very positive. She we don’t need to worry until we need to worry. I agree. I try to be very practical but finding my nerves are getting a little stretched.

I’ve read what I could that’s available to read. We don’t have a history of cancer in our family.

I haven’t until just recently had blood in my stool. But I also have hemorrhoids which I’ve been told can give false positives. I’ve had blood in my stool on and off over the years but I’ve given that over to a large bowel movement or my hemorrhoids or too much wiping because of diarrhea but never cancer.

So I’m nervous. I know they’ve said it could just be polyps but whatever the case may be the bottom line is that it came back “abnormal”.

I am 63. I will be doing all I can do to fight it if it turns out that I need too. But I’m praying I don’t. I totally agree about being active on your part to get better. I hope all is well with you.
