7 symptoms of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related

awareness month, so there is never a better time than now to learn what
you should look out for.
There are more than 200,000 cases of colorectal cancer each year.
“When he told me that we found a tumor and, 'You have cancer,’ I couldn't even hear the rest of what he was saying,” said a cancer patient.
He said never thought he could get colon cancer at age 28.
"I had some symptoms of colon cancer, just didn't see it coming,” he said.
Some of the most commonly overlooked signs are cramps, fatigue, and sudden weight loss. Pay attention to irregular bowel movements or signs of blood. A Dr. says, he has seen patients dismiss their symptoms.
“We know there’s a longer duration between the onset of symptoms and when they’re actually diagnosed because no one suspects colon or rectal cancer,” the Dr. said.
Two more telltale signs are shortness of breath or a diagnosis of anemia, which signals internal bleeding. If you notice dizziness, fatigue or unusual skin paleness, get checked for anemia and then follow with a colon cancer test.
A Dr. of Gastroenterology says it is not uncommon for patients to bleed internally for up to six months before anything shows up in their stool. You can lower your risk by as much as 45 percent just by maintaining a healthy diet, weight and exercise routine.
