I went into the ER and they did a CT Scan and saw the mass. They then did the colonoscopy. The ER doctor said that it was probably cancer. The GI doctor told me after the colonoscopy that it was likely cancer. And pathology verified it the following week. So then I started treatment. So you're waiting for the pathology to confirm. I think that the staging would be done with an MRI. If it is cancer, then your GI doctor will talk to you about it and you will go from there. We're here to help you through the process but we can't really tell where you are either.
