Colon cancer?
Here's the thing. When I wipe myself Ive been finding bright red stains of blood. Very little though. What worries me is that Ive never eaten a piece of fruit in my life!. Not an exaggeration. Ive also eaten very little vegetables. There is no history of colon cancer in my family. Could eating no vegetables and stuff like that create problems at a young age? Im 20

Its very unlikely that you have colon cancer. You probably have hemorrhoids? If the area starts to feel tender or itchy, then that's your problem. If it persists, I'd get it checked out. Most of the time when there is blood in the stool you can't tell, so that fact that its there when you wipe means its probably the rhoids.
2 :
Totally erase from your mind the idea of cancer. This blood could be coming from a lump at or above the anus. This could be haemmorrhoids or some other innocent tumour. Y0u will have to show a doctor. A medical doctor
3 :
VIst your doctor as soon as possible. Tell him what color the blood is if its darker color you could be in deep trouble. you may want to get a cholenoscopy.
4 :
Rectal bleeding is never normal and if it persists and/or you also have stomach pains you should be checked by your doctor. At your age it is most likely hemorrhoids or a fissure. Colon cancer in a 20 year old is very uncommon as only about 3% of all colon cancer occurs in patients under 40, but it is not unheard of. I just had a case today of a 26 year old male with colon cancer. Not eating any fruits or vegetables is very likely contributing to your problem. If you will not add these items to your diet at least consider a fiber supplement. Good luck.
5 :
DIET is a key factor i would get a colonoscopy b.c. guess what early detection is the only prevention. it could be a hemoroid colon cancer symtoms include: abdominal discomfort Blood in the stool changes in bowel habits

Colon cancer?
If you have colon cancer on both sides of the family, what's the earliest you can get tested for it? Can u start in your twenties?

If you ask a doctor they will say age 40 or 50. But I think in your case, 35 or so might be good. Hospitals want to save money by delaying testing, so don't take their word for it.
2 :
It is recommended to start colon cancer screening at age 50. Of course if you have symptoms of colon cancer or other GI conditions it will be done earlier, but they wont do it in your 20s without good reason. Having relatives on both sides of the family who have had colon cancer doesn’t change this, unless they were diagnosed with an extremely rare form of colon cancer that is hereditary. Otherwise only about 15% of people diagnosed with colon cancer had a first degree relative who also had colon cancer.
3 :
When did others in your family get it? If you have family members getting it in their 30's, then I'd get checked at 20. My mother got it at age 72, so I waited until I was 50 to get checked. Good luck.

So I found out a relative has colon cancer. What exactly is that?

Colon cancer is a common type of malignancy (cancer) in which there is uncontrolled growth of the cells that line the inside of the colon or rectum. Colon cancer is also called colorectal cancer. You are at risk of also getting colon cancer: *****Who is at risk for inherited forms of colorectal cancer? -People whose relatives developed colorectal cancer before age 60. -Those with relatives who have other forms of cancer, particularly breast or ovarian cancer. -Those with a family history of stomach, abdominal, bowel, bone, or liver cancer. In the past, colorectal cancer was misdiagnosed as stomach, abdominal, or bowel cancer, or, in later stages, the cancer may have spread to the bone or liver. -Distant relatives, such as cousins, aunts, uncles, etc., who develop colorectal cancer may raise the risk of colorectal cancer for other distant family members. The relative increase in risk is not as high as in those who have first-degree relatives, such as parents or siblings with colorectal cancer.

The first thing you want to know are the symptoms. With my Mom after she was diagnosed she went in for an MRI. This will tell you if it has spread to her lymph nodes or to other organs. Knowing is sometimes hard, but not knowing is even harder. Colon Cancer Treatment by Stage For all stages of colon cancer, except stage IV, surgery to remove the tumor is the initial treatment. For some cancers, additional treatments, called adjuvant therapy, may be recommended. Stage 0 Stage 0 colon cancer is found only in the innermost lining of the colon. Treatment usually involves one of the following: Polypectomy or local excision to remove the tumor and a small amount of surrounding tissue, or More extensive surgery (resection) to remove larger colon cancers. This may require a procedure called an anastomosis to remove the diseased part of the colon and reattach the healthy tissue to maintain bowel function Surgery to remove all of the cancer is considered curative. Stage I (Dukes A) Stage I tumors have spread beyond the inner lining of the colon to the second and third layers and involves the inside wall of the colon. The cancer has not spread to the outer wall of the colon or outside the colon. Standard treatment involves surgery to remove the cancer and a small amount of tissue around the tumor. Additional treatments are not usually needed. Aggressive surgery to remove all of the cancer offers a great potential for cure. The five year survival rate for stage I colorectal cancer is 93% according to the American Cancer Society. Stage II (Dukes B) Stage II colon cancers are larger and extend through the muscular wall of the colon, but there is no cancer in the lymph nodes (small structures that are found throughout the body that produce and store cells that fight infection). Standard treatment is surgical removal of the cancer and an area surrounding the cancer: A person with Dukes B colon cancer may also be a candidate for a clinical trial looking at the use of adjuvant immunotherapy, radiation or chemotherapy. The 5-year survival rate for Dukes B colon cancer is 78%. Stage III (Dukes C) Stage III colon cancers have spread outside the colon to one or more lymph nodes (small structures that are found throughout the body that produce and store cells that fight infection). Tumors within the colon wall are classified as Dukes Stage C1, while tumors that have grown through the colon wall and have spread, are called Dukes Stage C2 cancers. Treatment involves: Surgery to remove the tumor and all involved lymph nodes if possible. After surgery, the patient will receive chemotherapy with 5-FU and leucovorin. Radiation may be needed if the tumor is large and invading the tissue surrounding the colon Occasionally, a Dukes C cancer may be unresectable for cure even if metastases aren't present. That's because the cancer may have spread into the pancreas, small intestine, or other pelvic organs. A person with Dukes C colon cancer may also be a candidate for a clinical trial looking at the use of adjuvant immunotherapy or other forms of chemotherapy. The 5 year survival rate for Dukes C colon cancer is about 64%. Patients with one to four positive lymph nodes have a higher survival rate than people with more than five positive lymph nodes. Stage IV (Dukes D) Stage IV colon cancers have spread outside the colon to other parts of the body, such as the liver or the lungs. The tumor can be any size and may or may not include affected lymph nodes (small structures that are found throughout the body that produce and store cells that fight infection). Treatment may include: Removal the cancer surgically or another surgical procedure to bypass the colon cancer and hook up healthy colon (an anastomosis). Surgery to remove parts of other organs such as the liver, lungs and ovaries, where the cancer may have spread. Chemotherapy to relieve symptoms Erbitux or Avastin, two new treatments for treating Dukes D colon cancer Clinical trials of new chemotherapy regimens, or immunological therapy. Radiation to relieve symptoms. The 5-year survival rate for Dukes D Colon Cancer is about 8%. Recurrent Colon Cancer Recurrent colon cancer is cancer that returns after treatment. The recurrence can be local or near the area of the initial cancer, or the cancer can return in distant organs. The liver is involved in up to 2/3 of patients who die from colon cancer. Recurrence is most likely in patients with more advanced colon cancer. Treatment may involve: Surgery to remove the recurrences. This may lengthen lifespan and in some cases, this is curative when given with chemotherapy. If the metastases can't be removed, chemotherapy is the main treatment. Clinical trials are another option. Reviewed by the doctors at The Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center. Finding it early is the key to recovery.

i just found out that my uncle is have surgery this tuesday to remove the bowels because of colon cancer. and my mom is having a breast removed this thursday because of cancer. it sucks. colon cancer starts with little growths that show up growing inside the intestines and when not caught in time they can cause cancer to spread through out. usuerally the person has constant diarahea. dark stools or blood coming up as it gets worse. my uncle has had a lot of pain with other intereral organs and they found the cancer last week after doing a colon test that showed up on the xrays. he will have the bad removed and a bag or its called a clostomy attached for the stools to go into since the intestines are mostly removed.afterwards chemo is done for quite a while to kill all the other cancer cells and to prevent them from spreading. we found out about my mom about 6 weeks ago and after many tests and biopsys she is haveing the operation this week.

Blood in the stool dosen't necessarily mean you have colon cancer. A colonoscopy is a good idea. It sounds like IBS. Hyoscyamine, hydroxyzine (Atarax), amitriptyline, clonazepam, diazepam, loperamide are all useful drugs for IBS.
2 :
Blood in the stools doesn't necessarily mean colon cancer. Your symptoms sound more like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or Crohn's disease. A colonoscopy will help you doctor make a diagnosis and get you on the right treatment for your condition. This will help resolve your symptoms and you'll feel better.

No one but a doctor can really give you a true estimate but I'd say the fact that he's so young is definitely on his side. Also, colon cancer moves extremely slowly, so to speak, so getting quality treatment should be helpful as far as keeping it from coming back or getting much worse.

dont worry he will be fine : ) my grandpa had it and his was not as bad as your soon to be stepfather,,as long as he fights his hardest and always believes he will make it he will be fine! just remember wen he is in remission never miss a appointment for a colonoscopy they are so important,,and remember you can talk your self into anything and out of anything including cancer!!
7 :
Wow, that's young. There is no way anyone can speculate chances of survival other than your doctor and that too is only a educated guess based on percentages. As with many other types of cancer, the outcome of colon or rectal cancer depends on how advanced it is when it is diagnosed. In other words, the stage of your cancer. You need to talk to the doctor to get prognosis. Word of warning to those reading: Colon cancer is the third leading cause of death due to cancer in the United States. People tend to avoid the doctor until they have symptoms. That's understandable, but it's a mistake. About 75% of people who develop colorectal cancer are 50 or older with no other identifiable risk factors. In fact, someone is diagnosed every four minutes and someone dies from the disease about every nine minutes. But it doesn't have to be that way. Getting a colonoscopy can reduce the average person's risk of dying from colorectal cancer by 90% and when diagnosed early, the majority of colorectal cancers are completely curable. Talk to your doctor about screenings especially if you have a family history.

His chances depend on the cancer stage. Cancer stages rate how much the cancer has spread. If it is caught in early stages, this type of cancer can be completely removed by surgery, and there's no more cancer. At middle stages, it usually takes multiple treatments to kill all of the cancer cells. At late stages, there's little chance of getting rid of the cancer, but it can sometimes be held in check for 10-15 years with chemotherapy. Ask your mom what stage he is in.

if the stool appeared normal, and you just had blood clots that looked fairly fresh, I wouldn't worry about it, because of your constipation any bleeding from hemmerhoids would pool in your lower bowel and appear as clots when you finally pushed hard enough to evacuate.
2 :
First of all, please allow me to encourage you...I know you are nervous about this, but just: 1.Keep the appointment that you have 2. Ask alot of questions 3. Do your own research on the internet (google term, "Colon Cancer") 4. Stay on the doctors and nurses until you get a definite answer 5. Ask for an ultra sound of your entire stomach I'm not trying to offend, but if you believe in prayer, let your conversations with God be your refuge during this time as well. You are what you think you are....do not think about the sick- ness and allow your mind to be attacked with dispair. Accentuate the positive...your new baby, and your future! Let me know how it goes...I'll be praying for you.
