A member asked:
What are the sign and symptoms of rectal/colon cancer? can it be easily treated? and also my stool color is sometimes black, dark brown, green ormixed
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies : Signs and symptoms of colon cancer vary tremendously, certainly would be extremely rare in a 19 year old. Abdominal pain, change in bowel movements, unexplained weight loss, abdominal fullness, nausea are among the more common presenting symptoms. I would not hesitate to be seen and discuss directly with a doctor.
