After you take the
fecal immunochemical test (FIT), your results will be sent to you and your doctor. If you have an
abnormal result, you will be contacted by the health care team in your community regarding further follow-up. The health care team will assess your condition and book a colonoscopy procedure if appropriate, or let you know if other monitoring or treatment is advised.
An abnormal result does
not mean that you have cancer. However, it is very important to attend follow-up tests to determine the reason for the abnormal result.
