Repeat question: There is almost no likelihood that your poor appetite is due to colon cancer. Colon or stomach cancer are illnesses not signs. Your signs are of those of a person frightened that they have an incurable disease. That's called nosophobia. It is best treated by a psychiatrist. First be screened by your family doctor (i assume she knows you well). You don"t need to live this way.
