Lungs
Cancer can spread to the lungs from other organs, including the colon, since the lungs receive blood flow from the rest of the body. This process is called hematogenous spread, and it means that the cancer cells can travel via the bloodstream from the original tumor to other organs.
- Shortness of breath and other breathing difficulties: this is one of the most common indications that something is wrong with your lungs and can also be a sign of metastasis;
- Chest pain;
- Fatigue;
- Blood in the mucus after coughing;
- Unexplained weight loss;
- Persistent cough: a cough that doesn’t go away can be a sign that cancer has spread to the lungs.

I can see how visiting a medical professional that specializes in gastrointestinal care is a good idea for your case. I will consider trying this out if I get into a similar problem someday.
