Know the Warning Signs of Colon Cancer

Colon cancer symptoms can be easy to miss. Watch for:

• Changes in bathroom habits (long-lasting diarrhea or constipation)
• Blood in your stool
• Stomach pain or cramping
• Losing weight without trying
• Feeling tired or low iron levels



If you notice any of these signs, don't wait. Call your doctor and talk about what you're feeling.
