Cologuard test positive: I'm terrified

@frouke my doc doesn’t recommend cologuard test….too many false results and people often are referred for a colonoscopy anyhow—-the docs can remove polyps and evaluate the colon thoroughly— that can be life-saving.

@nycmusic, I think that a good doctor would never give it to their patients but sometimes the patient will insist that they don’t want to have a colonoscopy so perhaps it’s better than having nothing, it’s a personal choice and at the end of the day they cause more anxiety with false positives or negatives.
