This seems intuitively obvious, but isn’t the norm, from what I can tell.
One test has not been considered accurate enough to trust, leading to a colonoscopy with any positive and seemingly, simply trusting the negative was not false.
This should help everyone. Take the tests 13 days apart. Doctors who prescribed the fecal tests can now know with much more certainty that the results were accurate.
These can be ordered from online test services like Direct Labs.
Who wants to be scoped without a known reason?

They cannot kill you with this test. They can however easily injure and kill you with colonoscopies.

A test that reduces the need for colonoscopy is good, but still the risks of colonoscopy are

Hard to believe this will REDUCE the number of colonoscopies.
Quoting from memory...
If you are 70+ and have no risk factors for colon cancer, the risk of being injured by the colonoscopy is HIGHER than the risk of undetected cancer!
