C is for cancer

I just found out during a recent pelvic exam that I also have a mass attached to my tailbone that they have yet to let me know if it is malignant or benign but is the size of a man's fist. Monday i have a colonoscopy and endorectal ultrasound and a biopsy will be taken then. They said the tumor has to be taken out but they have to determine how much is attached to my rectum and if I will have to have a colostomy or if it can be removed without doing that. Either way, the tumor has to be removed because it is growing and will interfere with my internal organs. Is there a connection between CF and rectal cancer?
