I read that colon cancer causes thin, pencil thin stool and at first I wasn't scared because my stools aren't that way, but lately I've noticed that my stools' circumfrence is almost oval like. Thinner on one side and thicker on the other....I'm absolutley freaking out. I feel like the only thing I have to look forward to in 2021 is a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. First the pink urine, then the on and off UTI symptoms, and the bad smelling stool and now this...It all points to colon cancer with a possible metastasis to the kidneys. The only thing that makes me think otherwise is the fact that I'm gaining, not losing weight because my diet's been admittedly terrible with the holidays....But that's not always an indication that some people have cancer...
There are people with colon cancer diagnosed in their 20s that had symptoms on and off for YEARS and it's too late to do something about it when they finally get diagnosed and I'm terrfied I'm just another statistic...
