If they caught it early, he has a very good chance of beating this, early colon cancer is very treatable. It may be necessary to remove the cancerous part of the colon, most people do not recieve chemo or radiation for this. If the mass is on the outside of colon they may do a chemo wash, when they remove it and he may need chemo. If it has metasasized, they will need to deal with wearever it went to. It sounds unlikey, that this is what is going on, by what youv’e written. It is normal for the biopsy’s back for 3 to 7 days, you usualy get the priliminary biopsy back in a day or 2, but the final results usually take 5 t 7 days, especially if it were sent somewhere like Mayo clinic. It sounds like your Dad was very lucky that he got the flu, it may have been God’s way to get him checked out and treated early. Good Luck.

Most bowel cancers diagnosed in the early stages are curable. In the early stage there are usually no symptoms like your dad…so that is a good sign. There is another possibility why there are not symptoms and that is because there is no cancer…It is possibley a cyst or fibroid. Wait for the results to worry and support your dad until then. Let us know the results. All the best
