Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

You might be having problems relating to bowels. The CT scan shows the presence of thickening of large bowel with features that may be due to a tumor developing in large intestine. It is important to get further investigations like colonoscopy and if necessary a biopsy specimen may be taken and evaluated to look for any changes in the cells of large intestine. Even if it is a tumor, it is in the early stages and most likely completely treatable. Please discuss findings with your doctor and get investigated further immediately.
