What are chances of her having colon cancer?

I have a friend who is 28 years female. She is having blood and mucus in her stools for last 8 months. Following is the report for tests she has undergone.

Proato sigmoidoscopy report
Its done under local anesthesia, scope negotiated up to 2.30 cm . Mucus of reactum was inflamed and congested with multiple ulcerations. Mucus friable bleeds on touch with tip of scope.

Rectal Biopsy Report

Received tiny brownish white bits aggregating to 4cms. It reveals ulceration of mucus. The Laimina propria contains moderate lz dense infiltrae of lymphocytes, plasma cells and few polymorphonuclear cells. The mucosal glands apear unremarkable.

She is not telling me the exact thing, she doesnt want to hurt me. My question is . Is she having cancer or it is only IBS. What are the chances of survival from this stage. Is surgery and removal is an option or not. ?

A lymphocyte count is part of a peripheral complete blood cell count and is expressed as percentage of lymphocytes to total white blood cells counted. An increase in lymphocytes is usually a sign of a viral infection (in some rare cases, leukemias are found through an abnormally raised lymphocyte count in an otherwise normal person). A general increase in the number of lymphocytes is known as lymphocytosis whereas a decrease is lymphocytopenia.

Ulcerations are sores.....

It would be best to get this answered by the doctor treating this person, but as a nurse, what I see in your description here does not show cancer. I can't say for sure if it's IBS either. IBS is no fun but it can be treated and is usually not life-threatening if you're healthy otherwise.
