Your health: 10 signs that you have colon cancer

Family Virtue says "colon cancer is one of the least common forms of cancer in the United States, but it's much more common in other parts of the world. This form of cancer develops in the colon, which is responsible for numerous functions in the body such as filtering toxins from the blood, metabolizing fats and managing the balance of water in the body. Once colon cancer develops, all kinds of health complications can set in. Treating colon cancer is very difficult, considering how much can go wrong if the colon is damaged further." Here are ten signs to watch out for:
  1. Rectal pain
  2. Stomach sickness
  3. Abdominal swelling
  4. Jaundice (yellow skin)
  5. Chalk-colored stools
  6. Loss of appetite
  7. Unexplained Constipation
  8. Rectal bleeding
  9. Anal Pain
  10. Runny Stool and Diarrhea
