Hey. Just as a point of information, there are a number of things that can cause blood to appear in your stool - that aren’t cancer. And the at home cologuard test itself has at best a 13% false positive. So try to enjoy Christmas and in January you will get clarity. I know it’s easy for me to say, but do try.

The doc who did the colonoscopy will brief you afterward whether he found any polyps or tumors that were suspicious, but you won’t know anything for sure until the pathology reports are returned. Which could be a few days.
