Colon cancer

Colon Cancer Symptoms

Some of the common symptoms of colon cancer are-

frequent stools, which may be accompanied with blood.

the shape of the stools may change if there is obstructions in the colon due to tumor

some of the symptoms maybe similar with flu with fever nausea,diarrhea which when persists must be evaluated.

I know many survivors of this cancer, whose most of the colon have been taken out due to cancer & still continue to survive. What matters like in any other type is one's attitude, be positive, learn from other similar survivors who are worse than you & still sport that lovely smile.

The best test for this disease is virtual CT scan where air is pumped through your rectum & scan is done which normally gives a good picture if the patient remains still, as then the radiologist can make good assessment.

I'm only a survivor. So, kindly ask your Dr. This is only for providing basic information for one to take caution with certain symptoms, not to alarm anyone.Also no 2 cancers normally behave alike.
