A member asked:
This morning i had a bowel movement that was about 12 inches long. is this a sign of colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a specific sign: But any change in bowel habits is a warning sign. Have your doctor check your stool for occult blood. If that is positive, you need to have a colonoscopy.
