my husband had colon-rectal cancer last year. There are many types of cancer cells and many diff. areas of the body that they can affect. Your colon id much larger than your rectum, but cancer can effect both at the same time depending on the location of the mass. Each person is different but many times if you have cancer in your rectum depending on how much of it is effected, you may have to have a colostomy. Ppl laugh when you talk about that particular part of your body, but its a very serious matter and it CAN KILL YOU if you don't have it checked. My hubby went through chemo twice, surgery and radiation theraphy, but he is cancer free today! Please have a colonoscophy and treat this seriously----it is preventable and curable with the right treatment--GOOD LUCK!!!

Cancer happens when cells get out of control and divide at an abnormally fast rate.
Colon or rectal cancer is just the location of the cancer, like lung cancer, or pancreatic cancer.

Bowel cancer, probably end up with surgery to cut it out and a colostomy bag to poo in.
