I knew two people who had colon cancer. One, a man, had constipation for around six weeks, he took laxatives that worked at first then did not. The other a woman at work, she had bowel movements like rabbit droppings on and off for a couple of months, she was trying natural therapies to help that but eventually went ot the doctor and was diagnosed. Neither of them had any bleeding or pain to speak of.

My dad had it. Unfortunately he discovered it too late and didn't recover. He had symptoms but he and the doctor treated it as other illnesses and taking medications. If you have early symptoms talk to your GP about it. Make sure the Dr is someone you can really trust.

Symptoms:
1. Blood or mucus in the faeces
2. An unexpected change in bowel habit (for example diarrhoea or constipation for no obvious reason)
3. Pain and/or swelling in the lower abdomen
4. Constant tiredness
5. Weakness and paleness.
