Hi
Any lesion that is present inside colon should be removed and send it for histopathological examination ( Biopsy ). It takes 10 to 15 days for the report depending on the Pathologist.
CT scan abdomen has to be taken.It is not dangerous. It is done routinely now a days.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.
Regards
