   Symptoms of colon cancer can include:

   blood (bright red or black flecks) or mucus in the stool

   changes in bowel habits (diarrhoea, constipation or both) which lasts more than six weeks

   the feeling of still having to go to the toilet even after having emptied the bowels

   pain or discomfort in the stomach area (colicky pain, cramps, or tenderness)

   unexplained weight loss

   extreme tiredness (this may be due to bleeding)

   a lump in the abdomen

   However, these symptoms may well be due to other causes. The most common cause for bleeding, for example, is piles.

   Visit your doctor; if s/he has cause for concern s/he will refer you for tests.

   when your stool is black that means you have blood in your stool , but it can be a different illness too like a ulzer when it is bleeding, so really the only thing you have to do is the colon test to see if you have it or not
