go and get a colon check-mine was covered complewtely by my insurance. I lost Mom to rthis-they told her she had an ulcer for 8 months! She had digestive problems (including embarrassing gas) and aching.

My husband was diagnosed 9/20/08 with advanced colon cancer with mets to liver. He had been sick for 4 mos. exhibiting the signs people have listed in response to your question. However, he also experienced severe chills, ran a moderate to high temperature and experienced nausea and vomiting. He was encouraged to have a colonoscopy but refused until week of diagnosis. Dont wait to long. He had a blockage in intestine and had 2 colostomies done as a result. Also since his blood count has remained low they have been unable to inititate chemotherapy for palliative (comfort) reasons. He has been one sick puppy. But we can be grateful that he is not experiencing any pain.
