Are Home Fecal Matter Blood Test And Colonoscopy Both Required Simultaneously?
I just had a through annual wellness exam by a new primary care doctor. They are requiring a colonoscpy and also gave me an at home fecal matter blood test. Due to my age of 55 and have not ever had this type of testing I am preparing to schedule a colonscopy asap. Do I need both test?
