A member asked:
I have a long family history of colon cancer, every bm is diarrhea, i'm losing weight and in severe pain, but i'm under 30. could i have colon cancer?

Yes: Best to get these symptoms fully evaluated. You may need a colonoscopy for a definitive diagnosis. Although it is unusual for someone your age to have colon cancer, it is not impossible. Losing weight with severe pain means you need to know and not guess. Symptoms like these deserve a full evaluation in person by your health care provider.
