Blood in the stool would be one. It could mean a lot of different things so the best thing to do is see your doctor for a check up and why wait for the symptom? If you are of age get your colon checked. It is pain less and well worth it.

Hi, my mum had colon cancer, and her first symptoms was rectal bleeding and abdominal pain,she went to the doctors and had a barium and a colonoscopy done, and that is when they found the tumour. She went to the doctors really soon when having these symptoms but she had already secondaries in the liver. So I would recommend if you feel that something is not right go to the doctor's. My mum sadly passed away 7 months ago but this does not mean that every body dies of colon cancer, every person is diferent.

I had Rectal Cancer I was diagnosed in 04. I had my cancer for 3 yrs before my colonoscopy, my symptoms were lots of diarrhea, I started to always feel tired and ran down and would sleep a lot, my stomach would have a burning feeling and my upper thighs had pains. and first blood can make the stool look like coffee grounds .and also real blood starts to happen in the stools. and I started to feel like I could pass out sometimes.

From what I understand there are no symptoms to colon cancer that is why it is so bad. However, if you have any bleeding out of your butt you need to go to the doctor. There could be cancer or other serious conditions.

The nurse jumped the gun extremely. Blood interior the stool + age 40 two would not provide maximum cancers as a known guess prognosis. extremely submit-laxative-purge. sounds like a colon dissatisfied via too many laxatives to me! The nurse needs some re-training if that's somewhat the completed image of what she mentioned. i don't think of it somewhat is maximum cancers, in line with what the wellness care expert mentioned. and whether it became, nurse became very irrelevant to threaten you with loss of life in case you have not have been given a technique, and to tell you in looking a wide-unfold practitioner for resection even in the previous a doctor has examined you and desperate if there is even a huge gamble of maximum cancers. If the wellness care expert is recommending the colonoscopy, decide for it. A checkup will positioned your recommendations at relax. yet whether they detect a polyp, do not panic. Colon maximum cancers is actual dealt with at stages a million & 2 (in lots of cases surgical technique basically, on occasion preventative chemo); degree 3 is likewise treatable(surgical technique + chemo)

Some warning signs....abdominal/rectal pain, bleeding, persistent diarrhea or constipation, unexplained weight loss. The most definitive test though would be to have a colonoscopy and biopsy taken.

The bowel movements of someone with colon cancer are very thin. This is caused by a tumor (cancerous or not) in the rectum.

Get a blood test for colon specific antigen.
