Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history, high ESR and C reactive protein just indicate inflammation in body and do not point any specific thing.

your stomach is big and on colonoscopy a mass is reported with available information it is not clear that mass is inside colon or outside if inside biopsy could be taken.
If it is mass it is better to go for Ultrasonography and CT Scan of abdomen to know exact site and origin of mass then tumor markers and if required CT guided biopsy or Laparoscopic biopsy will be required for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment depends on of course test result.
