First of all, I want to say that I think ColoGuard is a good thing for people to test if colon cancer does not run in their family and their average risk. The problem with it is I think they had too many false positives. I am 71 years old and I have never had a colonoscopy and I kept procrastinating and not getting it. My family kept telling me to get it but I kept saying next year next year.Medicare Sent me a free kit of colorguard. I took it I sent in the test and I got back a positive result. I was scared to death cause I was thinking I had cancer because I put it off having a colonoscopy for too many years. I was frantic I finally pushed myself after receiving this positive test result to have a colonoscopy. The results were fantastic. I had no polyps at all no abnormalities everything was normal and they said they would see me in 10 years so even though colorguard made me worry for nothing it pushed me to get that colonoscopy that I kept procrastinating about.

They will nag you daily to complete the test. Email, text, phone. Asking them to stop doesn't help. They apparently think they are my mother and it's OK to treat me like a 10 year old.

My Doctor prescribed this due to my low risk factors. I received the test, completed it and sent it back. Very easy process. Got my results back and it said it was positive. It went on to say it could be due to precancerous growths, colon cancer, or some other reason. I called and got in to see a Gastroenterologist for a Colonoscopy. That test concluded that I did not have any form of Cancer. I would not recommend Cologuard or any other at home test to anyone who gets very anxious or nervous about positive test results. it can scare you into thinking that you have Cancer. I really wish they would reword some sentences. For example say something like;Your test result tested positive for potential abnormalities in your Colon. DNA markers concluded blood in the Stool. Please contact a Gastroenterologist for further follow up. While in most cases this positive could be due to a simply thing such as Diverticulitis, Polyps or hemorrhoids, it could be something more serious. So be your own Advocate and contact a Doctor today. The sooner a serious illness is detected, better the outcome. Please remember that some results are False Positive and or False Negative.

Was not told by cologuard that there is a list of over 10 drugs that can cause false positives including metformin, Jardiance, entresto, blood thinners. I am on two of them qnd ended up with a false positive. If provided with this information I could have gone off these drugs a couple of days before test
