Colon caner

I have diverticulitis and colitis. My colon ruptured five years ago and I had a colon resection done then. I had a flare up last week and spent four days in the hospital on antibiotic IV's. While at the hospital the Cat Scan showed that I have a large mass on my colon and my doctor said it was too dangerous to do the colonoscopy or endoscopy while there was too much infection and inflamation. I go this Friday to have both tests done. The doctor asked me a lot of questions about cancer being in my family. I know I will have answers come Friday, but I am a nervous wreck and need to know if anyone else has been through this and what your out come was. PLEASE respond.

Thank you,
Lori
