Could I have colon cancer at 22 with these symptoms?
It seems you're worried about your health, especially colon cancer. Having that cancer at 22 is rare. Your arm weight loss could be from anxiety causing muscle loss. Seeing a therapist is good, but talking to your doctor about your worries may help reassure you. Take slow, deep breaths and try relaxation methods to ease anxiety.
