You sound like a hypochondriac. Your 18. Unless colon cancer runs in your family at a very young age I would not worry about it. Other things could cause this also. What have you eaten? But if it will ease your mind check with your doctor.
2 :
If it continues to happen over the next week or two, make an appointment and see a doctor. It's alway better to be safe than sorry. The sooner cancer is found, the better. Hopefully that's not what you have, but just in case, I'd prefer you found out sooner than later.
