Don’t Ignore These 7 Signs of Colon Cancer

Colon Cancer

Menshealth.com recently posted an article in which they highlight a story about a young man, Charles Griffin, Jr., who was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer. Griffin was in incredible shape as a 32 year old man with little to no risk factors for colon cancer, but requested a colonoscopy anyway. If caught early enough, chances of survival are generally high. According to Dr. Bilchik, once the cancer has spread to distant organs, the cure rate depends on what therapies are used and the extent of the cancer. With that in mind, menshealth.com highlights seven symptoms to be on the look out for:

  1. Blood in Your Stool or The Toilet
  2. Abdominal Discomfort
  3. Night Sweats
  4. Thin Stools
  5. Constipation
  6. Sudden Weight Loss
  7. Fatigue
