Thank you all for your prayers and best wishes! What I know so far is not appendicitis.
CT with constrast showed more than the CT without.
With contrast the GI Dr believes it’s slightly less than acute bout of diverticulitis.
The surgery team scared the hell out of me when they were reporting on the CT w/o contrast saying looks like a tumor or cancer or possibly severe diverticulitis. Had a surgeon there who wanted to cut. As you might imagine sent my anxiety through the roof.
Thankfully the GI Dr said the area is really inflamed and he strongly discouraged a course of action of colonoscopy, biopsy and potential resection until the area heals, infection goes away and the bowel has recovered much more. I personally know someone who had surgery and resection during acute diverticulitis - lead to perforation, septicemia and he died
Dr leans strongly towards diverticulitis as my colonoscopy in June showed areas of diverticula and nothing more.
Glad most of us are men around here and most mind don’t discussing exrecrement/evacuation issues
Most Women embarrassed about it...
Again thank you all!
