Took the Cologuard test and it came back positive. Being positive, a follow up colonoscopy was needed. The wait time was several months, and finally my appointment day arrived. Prepping for the procedure IS the worst part of this test. The test itself was easy-peezy, guess what, no polyps, no cancer, clean bill of health. Cologuard did prompt me to schedule a colonoscopy, which I should have done to begin with. If hemorrhoids are present, there's a good possibility you're going to have a false positive Cologuard result.
So please, pass the Cologuard test and just have the colonoscopy, it's painless and accurate. Save yourself the worry and anxiety of this useless Cologuard test...you're going to have to have a colonoscopy regardless as to how your Cologuard test comes back as the results are just as bad for false negatives as false positives.
