No fever, I have done a blood test now CBC , CRP, ESR, liver and kidney tests all were very fine except for 3 findings in my CBC :

Hello and thank you for asking

I have been carefully through your questions.In my opinion you should not worry about colon cancer,at the moment that you have not more and prolonged other symptoms such is bleeding, subfebrile fever,generalized pain in your abdomen ,discomfort etc.

In my opinion maybe is some viral infection

So the the slight elevation in RBC and RDW and the Low MCH couldn’t be a sign of colon bleeding without noticing ?

In other words could this be cancer ?
