Anyone have a positive Cologuard test?

Posted by dazlin @dazlin, Nov 21, 2019

My test results came back positive. I asked what did it show, because they test for 11 different cancers or categories. They said, it just states either negative or positive for cancer. I had problems a few years back and did a colonoscopy, which came back ok. Now this!! I'm reading theres a 13 percent chance of false positive. Right now I'm extremely distraught about having to go through all Consults, tests, and dreaded preps. Orders are in for Consult with gastro, but they're booked out through January or February in Mayo. I have not received any notice for appointment yet. Dont know what to think or do.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Colorectal Cancer Support Group.

I attest to that ....Same scenario, going through chemo now as a result!!!!
Angry & furious but, its a little late at least for me! GET COLONOSCOPY!!!!
Cologard should be banned! Maybe, primary doctors are getting kickbacks???

Cologard is a waste of time. Had 2 years of false negatives while my cancer grew. After surgery and 6 months of chemo I am still angry about the False sense of security it instilled. My surgeon said I had the tumor for at least 2 years...just get the colonoscopy to get the real results.

Cologard is a waste of time with false results. I had 2 years of false negatives while my tumor grew!!

When I see a cologard commercial I want to vomit. I had 2 negative Cologards the 2 years before I did my first colonoscopy. Surprise....a big bad tumor. The surgeon who removed my whole ascending colon said I had the tumor for "at least" 2 years. I was staged 3-4. NEVER use or trust Cologard Ever. Wish I could sue.
