Most common colon cancer symptom

The most common symptom of colon cancer is none at all. If you’re 45 or older, or have a family history of colorectal cancer, get screened!

Exactly. I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in the Fall of 2008. I had no symptoms. I had just taken a roast beef out of the oven and finished the gravy. I was hungry and looking forward to dinner when I suddenly became aware of this low persistent nagging pain somewhere in my gut. I tried to continue to ignore it but that proved impossible as the pain grew in intensity and my appetite vanished, by then the dinner was the last thing on my mind. I made my way to the couch and waited for my husband.. When he got there I was trying not to panic but he knew me too well. The pain became like labor pains. Coming one right after the other about every minute and a half. Got to the hospital, yada yada..They found a mass in the lower large intestine. It had a blockage. That was the pain. It had already grown through the intestinal wall and I never felt a thing. I would not be going home. Surgery. 12 rounds of chemo. Cancer free for 15 years. Get checked people.

A friend of mine never ate sugar or "crap food", exercised daily and was quite slim. She died of colon cancer.

I never ate red meat fried foods or even over ate or "crap processed food" and still had to go through 8 cycles of chemo for colon cancer

My brother was 40 yrs old and just passed away from stage 4 colon cancer. His symptoms included: sweating, blood in stool, heartburn/indigestion and pain. They took his colon out and he got worse after that and died a month later. I miss him so much.

There are symptoms of colon cancer and I ignored them for 18 months until they got so bad I had to have it checked out. After finding out I was in hospital 3 days later. I had stage 3 colon cancer. When I had it removed I chose not to have chemo. My health improved greatly my skin improved and I was not feeling tired. So look out for the signs!

My sister passed at 45 from colon bowel cancer. She did have anemia, which apparently was a sign of sorts, but until the colonoscopy, nothing was certain. 😢😢 Stay strong and stay as healthy as you can.

I went to 14 doctors. I complained about horrible pain. I was labeled a pain pill seeker & addict!! Finally 14th doc listened to me, didn't believe my addict label. Emergency tests, stage IV cancer!!!! To top it off, i also had a tumor on my adrenal gland!!! They left it, because it was "stable" and not growing!!!🤬🤬🤬 Repeatedly asked to have them remove it while doing any of the other surgeries. So after struggling 5 years with the adrenal tumor, i was diagnosed with Cushings This caused thyroid issues, uncontrollable weight gain, & bone loss!! Then my lower back broke because my bones were so weak!!!😢 moral of the story:IF YOU THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG, YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT!! KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU FIND A DOCTOR WHO WILL LISTEN TO YOU!!!!😢

But what do you do when you're 22 and no one believes you even after advocating for yourself 20 times in a row?

I don't play about colon cancer my father passed away from it😢

[skeingamepodcast]

My ex had colon cancer. The tumor grew for a decade before it finally got big enough to close off his colon. We went to the ER one night thinking his appendix burst. They found the tumor through a CT scan. He didnt have any symptoms until that night. He had surgery and chemo and was in remission 2 years later. Guys, get your butts checked. Especially men over 40.

Family history of colon cancer just had my colonoscopy

Having a craving for sweets or sugar is a sign that your stomach is struggling and if you deal with any gut issues that means it's acting up.
