Bones
Colon cancer can also spread to the bones. When bones are affected by metastatic cancer, calcium can be released into the bloodstream. This can result in hypercalcemia, and a lot of new symptoms might occur.
- Bone pain: this is one of the most common symptoms if cancer has spread to the bones. The pain can either be dull or sharp, and its localization depends on the area cancer has affected;
- Bone fractures: cancer can damage the bone tissue, making it more susceptible to breaks and fractures. Furthermore, the fractures caused by this can occur with little or no trauma;
- Hypercalcemia: This happens because calcium is released from the bones into the bloodstream. High levels of calcium can lead to nausea, constipation, and muscle weakness;
- Unexplained weight loss.

I find it alarming how experiencing frequent abdominal pain and sudden weight change could be signs that you have colon cancer. 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.
