With a positive "FIT test", see a GI specialist for guidance and possible colonoscopy/biopsy. Colon cancer if detected early can be treated successfully.

There is still a good chance that your positive FIT test was due to 1 or both of your known benign conditions, proper followup with the doc that ordered your test should help in eliminating your worries.
