Hello Sir/Madam,
My name’s XXXX. I’m 17 years old and live in Bangalore, India. I’ve been pretty distressed about a few things related to my health. I’ve reported about this to my mother and then consulted my family doctor but I am not satisfied by the response. I hope you can help me out.
I’ve been observing a few things lately and think that I might have Colon Cancer. I have no family history of cancer of any kind. The only one that I’ve known of is my Great Grandmother who’s been diagnosed with colon cancer at 85. I’ve been observing the following things :
1.Constipation (For a few years now)
2. Blood in Stool- Not so frequent.
3.Diarrhoea – Not always.
4. Feeling that the bowel has not emptied completely after a bowel movement.

5. Gas, Bloating and Cramps.

6. I haven’t grown much since 9th Grade. I’m in 12th grade right now.

7. Unexplained weight loss . I’ve been busy with my academics and haven’t been able to exercise too much. I’m pretty active. It could be muscles loss, right?

8. I’ve been sleeping 8 hours a day for the last few weeks. I’ve always been a 6 hours sleeper.

9. I’ve facial hair unlike my friends. They grow pretty fast and it’s more like that of adults.

10. Hyper pigmentation on my face and limbs. But, there were these few days on which I tried to relax and not stress about cancer, and my face and neck looked a lot fairer.

11. I had back pain for a few weeks a year ago.

12. I get chest pains when I get stressed and I breathe a little harder and faster.

According to my knowledge, Asians are less prone to Colon Cancer and I’m very young too. I’m very active. I have never tried Smoking and Alcohol. Can I get Colon Cancer? Do I need to be Stressed about it?
I’m scared of surgeries because of all those cases of anaesthesia overdoses and am scared of death.
Hope you can help me out. Waiting for your suggestions.

Thank you.
