Thank you for your response! I indeed have a colonoscopy and endoscopy set for this very week.
Hi,
How are you? While many cases of colon cancer are asymptomatic, it can also presents with abdominal pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen; blood in the stool; diarrhea, constipation, or other change in bowel habits; narrow stools and weight loss with no known reason. It is possible that you are constipated at this point especially if fiber and fluid are not enough. However, if this change in bowel habits persist, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Additional diagnostic tests such as fecal occult blood test (FOBT) as well as screening tests like colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to rule this out. Take care and do keep us posted.
