Im48 and after a bowl movement i have pain with leakage what is the chance its colon cacer? im a vegtarian

Not likely.: In general not likely, but certainly more likely than the person with no symptoms. Vegetarian does not have much to do with it. Biggest risk would be family history of colon cancer. In any case should have someone look to ensure this is not something bad.
