My son has been sent home from the hospital today. He has been there since last Thursday with what they thought was appendicitis. However, it was not. Then they thought it was diverticulosis. It was not. Now, they think he may have colon cancer. He is only 30-years-old. Please pray for him. Thank you.
My sincere prayers for you, your son and your family. God bless you.
You can count on it and please keep us posted....God bless you......:(
Sending you a FReepmail about something similar that happened to me.Please read it. You are right to go down and get a second opinion. He doesn’t need to be waiting around for a month.

Jesus is the Great Physician. It is not His will that any of us be sick. He died on the cross for our sins and our diseases. Help your son understand that God is his healer and will see him through this trial. I will be praying.
prayers up
Praying for you and your son.
Prayers are for your son and also for you. Please keep us posted.
My prayers go up for your son and your family. May He provide healing and comfort to you all.
Prayers up for complete healing and swift recovery. I am a survivor, nearly 4 years. Everything will be ok.
Virtual colonoscopy is a procedure used to look for signs of pre-cancerous growths, called polyps; cancer; and other diseases of the large intestine. Images of the large intestine are taken using computerized tomography (CT) or, less often, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A computer puts the images together to create an animated, three-dimensional view of the inside of the large intestine.
Also ask if someone will do a PET scan for him. It makes cancerous tumors light up like a christmas tree on the image.
Also an ultrasound-guided or CT-guided needle biopsy may be an option. They need to get a sample and send it to pathology. The pathology is probably the most important thing. There is always a way to get a sample.
Don't give up. I went on a mystery diagnosis merrygoround two years ago, and It was only by my determination and the grace of God that I got the correct diagnosis. It was a colorectal-type cancer and the treatment was long and brutal, but I am healthy and well today.
Again, don't give up. Call every cancer center and major hospital within 50 miles of his home and get appointments with everyone who will see him.
And pray. I will be praying with you.
Prayers.

May I ask your son’s mane, so that I can make my prayer more personal?
My son’s FIL had colon cancer years ago. He was told to go home and take care of his affairs. He went to a different doctor(cancer service), they treated him and he is doing just fine these 30 years later.
Alway get a second opinion and get those tests done ASAP.
Be strong!
Prayers up for your son and your family.
