What Are My Symptoms Of Having Colon Cancer?
Hello, i am wondering what my odds are of having colon cancer. My mom had it several years ago so it runs in my family. I have had polyps on and off for several years. I am 26 years old and have yet another polyp around the anus leading to discomfort and narrow stools. I am in between jobs and I don t have health insurance right now; funds are minimal. Thanks for your help. -Matt
