I will start by saying most colon cancer and most all polyps are asymptomatic. Don’t wait until you develop symptoms to get checked. Having said that, if you develop colon cancer the symptoms can include blood in your stool, change in the frequency, consistency of size of your stool (pencil thin stool), abdominal or back pain, unexplained weight loss, weakness, fatigue and shortness of breath.
What symptoms can indicate colon cancer?
