He has had multiple episodes like this one over the past 15 years and they always responded to bowel rest and oral antibiotics. He has refused to have the recommended colonoscopy even with his history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (diverticulitis), sedentary lifestyle, and diet lacking in fiber. His paternal grandfather died of colon cancer back in the 1950s as well. He finally underwent a colonoscopy after his acute diverticulitis resolved. A colonoscopy revealed multiple polyps that were retrieved, and the pathology was positive for adenocarcinoma of the colon
