Got diagnosed 3 weeks ago, they thought it was cancer
For the first 3 days i was in the hospital it was heavily leaning on cancer and only possibly diverticulitis, all the scans were showing a fist size mass, apple core appearance, even had someone come in my room and tell me its almost certainly cancer and started talking about chemo.
Got a colonoscopy on day 4 confirming it was NOT cancer, biopsies all came back clear, etc.
Turns out it was a mass of scar tissue from diverticulitis, plus abscesses, inflammation.
For context i only ever noticed any symptoms like a week and a half before i decided something was seriously wrong, which was alot of weird pressure than alot of pain the next day.
But apparently this has been going on for a while. They want to do surgery I likely will just to be done with this.
Curious if anyone has had a similar experience?
