you are pregnant-ask the doctor. we are not doctors. that is an extreme diagnosis. horribly extreme.

I not really sure, my mom has colon cancer, but her only symptoms was she could feel the tumor by putting her hand on her side. So I'm not sure of the symptoms. If u have any one in the family that has had colon cancer before, u might have it. But most likely it has something to do with being pregnant. Either way get it checked out. And yeah I think that a xray can or a cat scan or something like that can tell if it's colon cancer. I hope that whatever is wrong is not colon cancer or anything anything really, I don't know what it's like, but I know it's bad, so I hope that u and your baby will alright. I wish u the best.

You could not have a exray becasue it could harm the baby but they might be able to do a colonoscopy
I am nit sure but I would ask your OB and see what they say.
Everthing changes when you are pregnant and it may be nothing. 18 would be very young to have colon cancer.

If your doctor feels its important he will send you to a gastrologist who can perform a colonoscopy it might be different because you are pregnant

Everything changes when your pregnant. Blood in the stool could be serious, please see your doctor.
