Lately I have been experiencing really bad headaches, a loss of appetite, fatigue and nausea. I have also had alternating constipation and diarrhea. My dad died of colon cancer 10 years ago. I was wondering what are the symptoms of colon cancer, and if I should get anything checked out, im only 16. Thanks for your help.

It would be extremely rare for someone your age to develop colon cancer. Bleeding from the rectum is often but not always a common first sign. I would definitely see a doctor soon for the symptoms you describe, though.

I would have doubts you have colon cancer. I would suggest you are stressed, or need to improve your diet. This can be everything from adding more of the right kinds of fluids to your diet, more nutrition, less fast food or fat, etc. Try starting with a simple consistent diet and reducing stress first. If this doesn't help schedule a doctor appointment to have him check your vitals. I hope this helps and all is good. Good luck
