22 yr old i am are colon cancer a rare sign of colon cancer? its not listed as the signs of colon cancer im scared i may have it because of noappetite

Rarely: No appetite (anorexia) is a rare and late presentation of colon cancer. Your age is another reason you are unlikely to have colon cancer. Rectal bleeding, change in stools or abdominal pain/bloating are more common symptoms. Anorexia can indicate other problems so i recommend you see your doctor, especially if it is making you lose weight!
