24 yr old bright red rectal bleeding for a few weeks almost 3 years ago.no bleeding or symptoms since. dr said ok.would colon cancer continue to bleed?

No Rules: Unlikely that after all this time, there would be a cancer not causing symptoms. However, cancer does not follow rules. If there was bleeding, some evaluation should have been done, and maybe still should.
