CT scan and MRI inconclusive: Perirectal mass?

I was able to see my Gastroentologist yesterday. Based on the CT scan he has scheduled me for a colonoscopy and pelvic MRI. I'm not getting the colonoscopy until 29 Jul. Would they have gotten me in sooner if they suspect cancer or do they not see any urgency of 4-5 week delay? He did say he would take biopsies if he sees anything.

I was in a situation like this recently and time is always of the essence, do NOT assume that waiting until July 29the is a good sign- nowadays doctors are taking two to three week holidays so if you need to call and ask for an earlier appointment, even insisting on a different doctor if needed and look at alternative options. No one is going to be a better advocate for you than you.
