Anyone have a positive Cologuard test?

@msrhray, welcome. I know that getting a positive result from your Cologuard test is hard. You're probably worried. But try to not worry until further investigations are done. It is possible that the Cologuard result is a false-positive, meaning there is no pre-cancer or cancer present. It may only signify that you have a benign polyp or pre-cancerous polyp. Colon cancer can be stopped in its tracks. It's good that you took the first step for detection.

I know the 16th seems far away, but it's only a few more days. How are you doing today?

Hi Colleen, I have Reflux/IBS for years treated with 2 daily medication twice daily. The colorgard box did mention not suitable for IBS patients, I think. I am still learning and am trying not to worry.
Thank you for your kind reply

They're just seems to be no way to not worry when you have a positive color guard test or screening and it seems like forever to wait even though it's 20 days from now it seems like forever probably the biggest fear I've ever had in my life never had a lot of problems so this is one big scare I had my last one two years ago and it was negative so this is a big emotional mental trauma
