[quote=Anonymous]What makes colon cancer be the first thing you consider? Is there a family history? Do you have GI issues? If you have GI issues, it is worth checking in the GI Dr. The IBDs-crohn's and UC can cause low ferratin and they behave strangely. While colon cancer often grows slowly (but not all the time) sometimes the IBS can go from ultra mild to moderate severe pretty quickly when not properly treated. If you reflux mention that too. Some people need both upper GI scope and colonoscopy, but low ferratin-which I think has to do with iron reserves can be caused by so many issues. I would not rush to colonoscopy and worrying about colon cancer unless you have symptoms since you were scoped 2 years ago and nothing was found. Keep us posted.[/quote]
