I went to a GI dr because I had a change in bowel habits. NO blood ever, just was going from slight constipation to slight diarrhea. I've also been getting abdominal pains..never in the same spot, sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left, sometimes near my ovaries, sometimes my upper abdomen. I have no nausea or vomitting nothing extreme, but it was going on for 3 weeks, so I went to check it out. he said it was probably nothing serious, but took blood anyway. he called me today and said my blood results were all good. Im wondering, if I had colon, or any other form of cancer, would he see something suspect in my blood work? can i have perfect blood work, but have cancer anyway? I had abdominal pain today and it still makes me nervous. also, I do not have family history of colon cancer, if that matters at all. thanks can blood test detect colon cancer?

Colon cancer cannot be diagnosed through a blood test. However, anemia can and that indicates there may be internal bleeding, which would be cause to investigate further and sometimes leads to finding cancer in the GI system. However, you do not have symptoms of colon cancer and there is no reason to believe you have it.<br><b>References : </b><br>I am a cancer registrar.

With those symptoms though you really should have a colonoscopy to be sure. Talk to him.
