segmental thickening of sigmoid Posted: 01-23-08 19:14pm
hello , i had to go tto the ER last night
for some stomach pain. The checked my
blood and gave me a xray of my stomach. MY
labs came back normal , but my White blood
cell count was at 20.1. They thought i
might have an infection. The Dr then
decided to have me drink this liquid and
have a ct scan of my stomac/intestines. It
too came back ok , but i was told that i
have a Segmental Thickening of Sigmoid,
and have ordered a colonoscopy or
sigmoidoscopy. Im 28 and im scared that i
might have colorectal cancer. Can anyone
tell me what the term i have means?
please..
