I had a colonoscopy in late May, 2008. When it was over, I asked the nurse while she was taking out the IV if everything went okay. She told me that I "might" need a little surgery and the Doctor would be in to speak with me.
In a few more minutes, my wife and the Doctor came in and he told us that he saw a mass (tumor) that was too risky for him to even try to take out and recommended surgery. He said that he had biopsied it, but he has seen enough of these to believe that it is cancer.
He went on to say that we needed to act fast on this and immediately had his office arrange for PET and CT scans. He also put a "clip" on it, so the surgeon could tell exactly where it was located (in my sigmoid colon).
