Not at first, because looking in my colon only showed the diverticulitis in 2009. Moving forward in late 2010 Gynecologist felt stomach palpitations and ordered a STAT CT abd/ pelv at the hospital.
CT results showed a very large spindle cell tumor was wrapped on the outside around my Transverse colon. They tumor was processed in Histology and assumed GIST even though the C/KIT was negative.

restained. He told me after restaining slides that tumor was a rare SFT Sarcoma
