Today I learned what the acronym FIT means.
My doctor referred to a recent test I took as “poop on a stick” and that is literally what it is–you apply a small bit of your poop to a stick, seal it in a container and the medical lab people examine it for nefarious and unwanted things. My doctor advised me when I got the results to not be alarmed if they were positive, as the test apparently generates a lot of false positives.
Today I got a letter from the medical lab regarding my Fecal Imunochemical Test and I quote:
The result of your recent Fecal Imunochemical Test (FIT) was normal.
NEXT STEPS: No further action is required at this time.
I am pleased that my butt is normal.
That is all.
