Signs of colon cancer?!?

I am 13 and have been constipated for 2-3 weeks. I have also previously been constipated several times. I don't feel like I have gotten everything out after a bowel movement, which I struggle to have. What really scares me is that I have a history of colon cancer. My grandfather was lost to colon cancer. Please help!

Make appointment with your doctor today.  It's just as important to listen to your body and notice anything that's different and keep updating us above your health.

I agree. You should concern your doctor as early as possible. This might be because of your family's medical history. Don't take this as normal. God bless !

Although I'm not a Doctor if you have family history of Colon Cancer I would discuss this with your parents and go for a colonoscopy. You are at a increased risk for getting colon cancer. Tell them about your family history and your symptoms!
