A member asked:
Im only 22 years old with no colon cancer symptoms except lack of appetite is that really a specific symptom of colon cancer?

No: Loss of appetite is not a specific symptom of colon cancer as there are many possible causes for a diminishment of appetite. Best to see your doctor to find the cause of your loss of appetite.

No: Lack of appetite is not a usual symptom of colon cancer. Unless you have strong family history of colon cancer occurring at a young age, you are too young to worry about it.
