Anyone have a positive Cologuard test?

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.

Oh, how worrisome, @dazlin. it's hard not to worry, but it won't change things. My husband always tells me, "put your worry into action." Do you live close to Mayo Clinic? Will you go through the tests etc. there or at your local facility?
