It's very unlikely you have colon cancer. These symptoms don't really fit it anyway. What you most likely have is an irritation of your colon caused by colitis, crohns disease, or something like that. You may also have celiac disease, you should ask to be screened for that. Bottom line though, you need to get someone to take you to the doctor and get this checked out before it does any more damage. Best of luck kiddo, e-mail me through my profile and let me know how it goes.

ohh my goshh! even if you don't you should go to the doctor,it might be but contact the doctor! i got this from the internet: Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include: â– A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks â– Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool â– Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain â– A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely â– Weakness or fatigue â– Unexplained weight loss Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on the cancer's size and location in your large intestine. When to see a doctor If you notice any symptoms of colon cancer, such as blood in your stool or a persistent change in bowel habits, make an appointment with your doctor. Talk to your doctor about when you should begin screening for colon cancer. Guidelines generally recommend colon cancer screenings begin at age 50. Your doctor may recommend more frequent or earlier screening if you have other risk factors, such as a family history of the disease.

Hi Taylor. The chances of you having colon cancer are slim to none sweetie. You probably have whatever it was you had when you were just a little girl. Of course, it could be something a simple as your diet. You need to let your parents know what is going on so they can make a doctor appointment for you. Good luck.

Honey, please tell your parents so they can take you to the Dr. ! You can't have things like this going on and not tell anyone. It could be anything besides cancer . So the longer you put it off the worse whatever it is will get! They have all kinds of treatments today for cancers and everything else. Stop worrying about it have tell Mom /Dad and get to the Dr ASAP. You know when ever you are scared, if you call on the Lord he is always there for you! I will say a prayer for you that this will be something rather simple and not bad. God bless you !
