Anyone have a positive Cologuard test?

I received notice on Saturday that I had a positive Cologuard and have been struggling with horrible thoughts ever since. I cant seem to calm my mind or worry and am just a mess! I know I shouldnt jump to any conclusions yet but its so hard not to. What if I am one of the unlucky ones? I am 45 with no symptoms. I have an appt with the dr tomorrow to talk about scheduling a colonoscopy but I just need some reassurance. Its hard to function and work and take care of a family and household with all these horrible thoughts running through my mind. I wish I hadnt done the Cologuard and did the colonoscopy instead. I wouldve saved myself so much anguish and sleepless nights. It does help to read through all these comments though. I have gone to it several times since Saturday to try and make myself feel better!

I received news of a positive test in July as well. I did my first test five years prior and it was negative. I have a colonoscopy scheduled in two weeks. I've been trying really hard not to worry so I keep reading everything I can get my hands on that would help ease my worries. I too have had no symptoms and find myself dreading every trip to the bathroom yet always take a good hard look before I flush! lol If anything, the positive test has forced me to get a colonoscopy at 56.... and if the results come back with little to worry about then the positive Cologuard served its purpose with me. Thanks for your posts about your experience... it has made me feel better going into the procedure. So glad yours came back just fine. 🙂
