Colon Cancer Stages and Symptoms


Colon Cancer Stages and Symptoms?
Is it possible to have stage 3 or stage 4 colon cancer, yet have perfect bowel movements daily? Or would these late stages of Colon Cancer cause constipation and thin pencil or ribbon like stools?

The only way that can be answered is by seeing a specialist and requesting a colonoscopy. That's a good way of checking your colon for cancer or any other abnormalities. I've heard of people not having any symptoms, but were diagnosed with colon cancer after a colonoscopy. Good Luck!

I have yet to see a single colon cancer patient whose complaints included thin pencil or ribbon like stools regardless of stage. No one with a stage 3 or 4 would have normal daily bowel movements. Nearly all have intermittent diarrhea and constipation. Most will have blood.
