Now, I am worried

Now, I am worried

ok, now I am worried about something else. hopefully someone can help me out. I am worried about my CT scan. i read somewhere on the internet that it is hard to tell the difference between colon cancer and diverticulitis.the prelim report mentioned mild diverticular disease and the final report mentioned pancolonic diverticulosis. i feel like I am about to panic. would the radiologist have been able to tell the difference between the two? My God.. I am so worred now. Please someone help me. my symptoms have gotten better since I have slown down on my eating and watched what I have been eating. i am scared to death of cancer.. please, someone tell me that the CT scan was ok.. the doctor this morning acted like I had enough extensive testing to prove what I had was diverticulosis. He just asked me if my symptoms had gotten better, I told him yes...  and he told me if they didn't that I would need to be looked at again. please someone, if I know this is only diverticulosis, then I can deal with that. please.. thanks

now, i am back from another visit at another GP. she wanted me to get a colonoscopy done just to ease my mind. she kept asking me why i was worrying about something i didn't have. she told me she didnt think I had anything to worry about.
God, it is not the actual preparation for the test, or even the test itself...it's just worrying about the results... i need some support. can anyoe help talk me thru this?
