Anyone have a positive Cologuard test?

I got positive results. I called cologuard , expecting to find out more details than just one word (“positive”). They said my doctor received more details so to contact him. My doctor sent me what he got and it was exactly the same-one word. I especially was interested to find out if the positive result was from detected blood or from dna, which Cologuard is supposed to find. Apparently Cologuard has a lot more information but doesn’t release it to patients..or doctors. The next step should be a colonoscopy , which I was hoping to avoid with the Cologuard. The colonoscopy found two polyps which were removed. I’ll need another colonoscopy in 1-3years. I won’t bother with Cologuard again.

Agree. Would not do Colorguard again. Would just do a colonoscopy. Also would not do again if there were negative results from Colorguard and then something positive was found.
Just go with the colonoscopy.

My thoughts exactly. The reason I got Cologuard was to avoid a colonoscopy. Now I’m scheduled to have done next week.
