Re-test before doing colonoscopy - Pumpkin

Posted: Sep 5th, 2020 - 8:33 am In Reply to: Positive Cologuard test... - Kiwi

I would ask for retest with fecal occult cards before a colonoscopy. One positive does not constitute undergoing colonoscopy, especially if you have no other bleeding present except when you "dig for it"---if they won't give you the cards get an over the counter home test. It could just be hemorrhoids also.
