What are some symptoms of colon cancer?

by Symptom Advice on January 6, 2011

i think my husband might have colon cancer. he complains that he feels like he has go to the bathroom but doesnt need to, throws up every night, tired/weak, stomach hurts alot and little blood in toilet. could that be what it is or something else?

Colon cancer may be present without symptoms, particularly early in its course. The passage of bright red blood in the stool or a change in the frequency, consistency or thickness of stool are the most typical symptoms.
Please refer to the following:

Hmm, I'm not a doctor. you should probably go to the doctor, that's what I'd do. and maybe research a bit on the internet.

Get that azz to the doc asap!

I wouldn't worry about it until he finds out from a doctor for sure. I actually thought i had that once, but there are so many things that people can think they have because they are too freaked out to think rationally. It could be that he has the flu, maybe he has hemmroids, maybe something else. good luck to you.. and you might need to have him see a doctor.

Only a good doctor knows best – but you may find the info on the following page helpful.

I hope he is ok!! :)

It could be many things…divurticulitis, crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome…and, unfortunately, colon cancer. he needs to get to the doctor asap and have it checked out. If it's one of the more minor issues, then you'll have peace of mind and he can get some relief through treatment. If it's cancer, the sooner they find it and begin treatment the better chance he has for a complete recovery.

Why has he not gone to see a doctor about this already?

Tell him to go to the doctor.

Make a Dr appointment …The symptoms of colon cancer vary from person to person, depending on how extensive the cancer has spread. you husband does have some symptoms..instead of worrying please make an appointment and find out for sure..I do know that trouble passing stools is a sign of colon cancer but it can also be an indicator of many other health related issues

Honey..please don't mess around this place looking for an answer for this concern..get him to a doctor immediately.what he has could be symptons for anything…don't waste time.

change in color and form. your bowel habits also change

I have suffered for years with Crohn's disease which offers many of the same symptoms you are describing plus most often also causes the right eye to be very bloodshot on the inside corner. Ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, even appendicitis are some of the other conditions that have these symptoms.

I recommend strongly that you encourage your husband to make an appointment tomorrow with a gastroenterologist who may end up doing a few tests and sending him to a rheumatologist. My symptoms are somewhat controlled now after 12 years but I still suffer.

If he has fever, take him tonight to the emergency clinic just to make sure nothing is going to rupture as this is the most worry with some of the above conditions.

There is now a digestive pill camera that can be swallowed to scan the digestive tract and find out what is going on. maybe if he knows this he will feel more comfortable about testing that may need to be performed.

What ever it is, he needs to have medical attention ASAP! The symptoms you describe are seen in colon cancer but it could be something else. Copy this address and check it out. BUT…see a doctor soon; waiting makes treatment more difficult and reduces success. It's better to know the truth and treat it than to worry about what it might be.

I can tell you this my boyfriend who at age 27 started noticing a little bit of blood in his stool, he didn't think much of it. as time went on, there was more and more blood in his stool. he finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with colon cancer. he passed away in 2001 at age 32. Cancer is hereditary, his mother had it, his grandfather had it, and so did he. Have him go to the doctor, it's better to be safe then sorry. If my boyfriend would've went right when he started noticing blood in his stool, he would most likely be alive today.
