In Ontario (Canada) the government automatically contacts you to obtain a free FIT kit when you turn 50.

I just did mine, and it came back "abnormal" (which is a descriptor I've lived with all my life). Needless to say I'm hoping it's nothing, but it is wise to get tested for such things as soon as you reach each risk milestone in life.

Hoping it's nothing buddy! Best wishes

Thanks. I know other people have gone through exactly this and came out alright, so I'm keeping my mind in that direction. There are a number of things that can trigger abnormal FIT results, but of course the value is in subsequently discovering what is causing that to occur, even if it ends up a non-emergency, and then dealing with it before it can become one.

best of luck

hope it's nothing

my grandfather had something bad around 70, so i'm hoping it's not genetic. anyways, a long time until i have to worry about it
