Cancer at 17?
Posted , 5 users are following.
Is it possible to get cancer at 17 years old? (I’ve been experiencing symptoms since I was 10)
symptoms include:
Dull Ache Abdominal Pain(cramping only sometimes)
(Pain relieved by LYING DOWN)
Small Blood in Stool
Bloating (everyday)
Current Test I’ve Taken;
Blood Test - Negative
CT - Negative
CT w/ Contrast - Negative ( 1 year after)
CT - Negative (another year after)
Urine Test - Negative
amenic - Negative
So my big question is if it is possible for a 17 year old male (6”3 160 lbs) to get colon cancer?
P.s - I am getting a H - Pylori Breathtest done this Friday.

You know that cancer doesn't discriminate about age. Don't think of the worst. If you had cancer I think you would have been told that by now. You had bloodwork and scans. So just push you doctors to get more info out of them. Don't worry you will be ok.

A 17 year old can get cancer, though I'm not really sure about colon cancer. Maybe it's happened before, but the chances are pretty rare. My brother had symptoms at your age but with anemia and weight loss. He ended up having Crohns Disease. It was diagnosed through a colonoscopy. Since the CT showed nothing, I'd say your good but you should get a colonoscopy just to be sure. At your age the most I would say you have is IBD, but it could be IBS since you have been having these symptoms for years.
