I Had A Recent CT Scan Of The Abd/Pelvis. My

I had a recent CT Scan of the Abd/Pelvis. My symptoms were (L) upper & lower quadrant pain. The results I received are not related to what the CT showed. Areas of concern are : Diffuse thickening of the ascending colon, particularly in the region of the cecum which appears to be right upper quadrant in location indicating a mobile cecum. There is also diffuse thickening of the wall of the rectal vault and there is underlying nodularity suggested along the posterior right lateral wall of the rectal vault narrowing the lumen of the rectum. There is no perirectal acute inflammatory stranding. There is no evidence of mechanical bowel obstruction.
Borderline enlarged appearing Prostate Gland smoothly marginated showing evidence for prior prostatitis. (I have never had prostatitis)
Abdomnal wall: There is diastasis recti with a tiny fat containing periumbilical hernia but no bowel involvement.
Liver: Normal size showing fatty infiltration. No discrete lesions are identified

Impression: 1) There is diffuse thickening of the wall of the ascending colon and rectal vault which may be on the basis of nondistention vs chronic inflammatory change. No acute inflammatory process is identified.
2)There is nodular fullness along the posterior right lateral wall of the rectal vault
which could represent a mass, however, clinical correlation is recommended, digital exam.
3) Fatty infiltration of the liver
4) Mobile Cecum
5) No free air or free fluid
Is there a good chance this could be cancer? What is a mobile cecum?
