Calm down and make a doctor's appointment. It is probably not colon cancer. More likely is irritable bowel syndrome. There are about a thousand other things it could be other than cancer. Also, even if it is cancer, you can live without most of your colon. Colon cancer is fairly easy to treat.

Not having a stool in 4-5 days is just constipation, I wouldn't be concerned about that at all - if you feel bloated get some laxatives from your pharmacy. Bloody stools will probably be because of your hemorrhoid! So calm down! And pain in the abdomen is probably due to the constipation! Get some laxatives, you'll be as good as new! Honestly, it's nothig to worry about. If you still feel afraid then see your doctor to clear it all up officially.

first of all relax.now my grandad is in hospital at the moment because he had a tumur in his colon and they removed the colon and now he has 2 bags.the only thing is before he went to the doctor to get it checked out he said he had a sharp pain like a toothache that comes and goes on his left side just under his ribs which may be what you are experiencing.talk to your parents about it and get a scan coz dats wot my grandad got done.its not life threating you can get your colon removed but you wil have a bag after to collect your waste. x

Cancer is age specific . . colon cancer occurs in older adults .. which is why a colonoscopy is recommended for that age group. So, it is unlikely that you are dealing with cancer. That doesn't mean you shouldn't make an appointment to see a doctor. You may have a fissure - which is a small tear, like a cut inside the rectal area and can be caused by constipation. Constipation can hurt. You can read more about the types of cancer that teens and young adults can get (leukemia, lymphoma, sarcoma, testicular, ovarian, germ cell, skin cancers): http://www.cancer.net/patient/Coping/Age-Specific+Information/Cancer+in+Teens It would be very, very rare for a teen to have colon cancer.
