Not at all likely: I've been a medical oncologist for 30 years, and I've never seen colon cancer in someone as young as you. I suppose it has happened sometime somewhere, but you're probably more likely to win the lottery than to have colon cancer at your age.

I am 27. How likely is it that I have colon cancer or something serious? Occasionally I see bright red in stool, not wiping. My stool is often inconsistent where it can go from a normal bowel movement to pebbles and varies in terms of frequency?
