Worried Daughter

So my mom is 75 and never had a colonoscopy.... to my dismay.
A few months ago she started experiencing vague abdominal pain and slight fatigue. A few days ago she noticed blood in the stool for the first time. Went to ER. CAT scan showed "mass" in right colon. She says it doesn't hurt unless the doctor presses on it.
Super scared. Since she's never had a colo this could be serious and widespread. I'm worried sick. My mom (God love her) is actually more calm than I. I'm just worried about the possible road ahead. So my question... for those of you that had similar symptoms, what can we expect? She goes for a consult today and colonoscopy will be scheduled.
