I have smoldering diverticulitis, just spent 2 days in hospital on IV antibiotics. They cannot do a colonoscopy when swelling in the colon is present. Hoping it will finally go back to normal. There could be a cancer under it but at this point only by removing part of my colon can it be found.

Yes, understand. (Been there) Hoping the antibiotics will help and are you on meds for inflammation too?
They said that my ovary in scan was enlarged, and it wasn't. It was just how bad my episode was.
I stayed on inflammation meds and low residue diet to keep mine at bay until I had the surgery.
