FOBT

Hi.  Since I'm petrified of a colonoscopy due to my fear they'll find something fatal, I'm thinking I should start with a FOBT.  Is that an option?  Granted I'll be scared to death waiting for the results, but I'm thinking it's an option for me to start with.  I suffer with severe health anxiety so I thought this would be a place to start - if I get up the nerve.  I guess I want to know that what I have is IBS and not something horrible, but I'm paralyzed with fear.
