The way Cologuard advertise the test is very misleading. This is pasted directly from the first statement on their current website...

"Cologuard finds 92% of all colon cancers. Cologuard is the first and only test that looks for both abnormal DNA and blood in stool. Other tests only detect blood".

Many read this as a positive test means you have a 92% chance of having colon cancer. At least I did, as did my wife. Thus we are still worried despite this site greatly helping the worry level with so many NOT having cancer but a positive Cologuard test.

In my wife's case where we were not notified of the positive Cologuard until 18 months later, I would think the prescribing Dr. who dropped the ball, better hope no cancer is found. If so, it would seem that any polyps or cancer would have had 18 additional months to grow undetected. I assume that is a long time with colon cancer.
