Signs of Colon Cancer

4. Weakness or Fatigue
Chronic fatigue may occur due to slow blood loss causing anemia.
Pale skin or shortness of breath can be linked to iron deficiency anemia from bleeding in the colon.
5. Unexplained Weight Loss
Losing weight without dieting or exercise can be a sign that cancer is affecting digestion or metabolism.
6. Other Signs
Vomiting, nausea, or persistent discomfort.
In advanced cases, jaundice (yellowing of the skin/eyes) if the cancer spreads to the liver.
Important Note
Early colon cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms, which is why routine screening (colonoscopy or stool tests) is recommended starting at age 45 for most people or earlier if there’s a family history.
If you want, I can also give a quick “red flag checklist” so you can spot early warning signs of colon cancer and know when to see a doctor immediately. This is especially helpful because some symptoms are subtle.

Do you want me to make that checklist?
