22 Year Old With Colon Cancer Syptoms Posted: 08-13-07 21:29pm
My syptoms started about 5months ago when
my rectal area would itch very badly and I
would notice blood on the toilet paper.
Then my syptoms progressed to feeling like
I have to have a bowel movement without
being able to do so. For the last few
months I have been feeling like I always
have to have a bm, and there will be days
where I am unable to have a bowel movement
and other days where I have 3-5 bowel
movements in a day. My stool has also
become very narrow and everytime I have a
bm I feel unrelieved.
My diet is not good at all, but I am still
worried about the possibility of colon
cancer. If anyone could help me out I
would greatly appreciate it!!

In my opinion, it is more likely that you
have ulcerative colitis or irritable bowel
syndrome, because of your age. Having
blood on toilet tissue is a common symptom
of hemmroids. Having blood in your
stool is the symptom that would cause
concern, and even then, that could
indicate other problems before colon
cancer.
Just see your family doctor. In the mean
time, you might try to eat more veggies,
drink lots of water, and consider using a
fiber supplement.

i was 23 when i diagnosed with colon
cancer and had ulcerative colitis for 10
years. So sickness knows no age trust me.
but i am a surviver and just go to your
doc and get tested for your consern.
