Jayjay - At age 20 years, chances are almost zero that you have colon cancer. At your age, bright red blood on the stool is due to hemorrhoids, and you appear to have been diagnosed and treated correctly. The other symptoms you describe are not those of a cancer. Many or most physicians believe that colon cancer begins ion polyps. For this reason, and because your father had colon cancer, I would advise you to try to visit a gastroenterologist (G-I or gastro-intestinal) physician to have a colonoscopy exam of your large intestine this year to see if there are any polyps in your colon. Thereafter, follow the advice of the G-I physician.,
