Hi. It appears you are new to MayoConnect. Its a great community and some point one of our awesome mentors will officially welcome you and make sure your question is on the best focus areas. Sadly, since you have a specific question, let me say I do not have Crohn’s disease. I do have a different autoimmune disorder, Rheumatoid Arthritis. And I have flares with that. And I just had lung cancer removed six months ago.

When you say they told you there is a growth on your intestine can you talk a bit about that? Was it found in testing of some kind? Did the docs say how they want to react to it? Like more testing or imaging?

I guarantee that someone in this incredible community has walked the path you find yourself on. They will find us. Maybe not tonight tho. So in the meantime let’s just explore what you know and how you learned it. If that suits you.
