My daughter had a colonoscopy - they found something

Tweet

My daughter's been having digestive issues for a while. She says she has problems pooping, lots of discomfort, etc. They ran one series of tests using a radioactive liquid that she swallowed after which they scanned her. I don't know the outcome of that, but this test was in addition to that one. First of all, they found she had diverticulitis, an inflammation of bulging pouches in her colon. Farther up, they found a mass. They don't know what kind, so she now has to have an ultrasound done. She doesn't yet have that scheduled, so I'll know more after that. But, as it stands, we don't know what the mass is or if it's something more than just a growth. I hope it's just a growth. I don't know what I'd do if it's something bad.
