Colon Cancer In Teenagers Posted: 06-11-07 19:49pm
Hey, I am 19 years old and I was wondering
how likely it is for someone in my
situation to have colon cancer. I have a
great grandparent on my mother and fathers
side who have had colon cancer. I have for
the past 4 or 5 months have been noticing
blood in my stool. At first I ignored it
mostly because I found it embarrasing to
talk to anyone about. Recently I have
noticed the bleeding to be heavier. I've
also felt extreamly tired for the past
couple months, sleeping over 14 hours a
day sometimes. I have constant stomach
pains and find myself feeling like I have
to go to the bathroom almost constantly.
Only that when I try to go I find myself
constapated. Can someone please offer me
some advice and information?

i am 18 and have the exact same thing!!!
Probably best to go to the doctor and get
it checked out since blood in the stool is
not good. I am in the process of this,
hope it all works out well for you.
