Ok im a younge 18 year old, and iv been worried that i have colen cancer but only since i found out my friend has it could i be causing my own pain... thinking i have it????
Yes it is entirely possible that you are giving yourself that pain. The mind is an amazing thing and can often "trick" the body into thinking there are medical issues.
If it makes you feel any better the occurance of prostate cancer in someone under 40 is extremely rare. You are very young and are probably feeling freaked out that cancer happened to someone young and someone you know.

Glinda, giggle, prostate cancer and colon cancer are two different things hun.
As a matter of fact women can and do get colon cancer, but don't have a prostate so they can't get prostate cancer. LOL
Have you gone in to speak to your family doctor or even a call to the nurse in their office? it may help to hear straight from a medical professional (though J_9 is on her way to being one)
I understand your fears, but you must know, and I am sure you do, that colon cancer is not contagious. So, you may know someone with it, but you can't get it from them.
You also must know that most times there are no symptoms of colon cancer. Many times it is asymptomatic.
Are you experiencing any of these symptoms?
* Diarrhea, constipation, or other change in bowel habits
* Blood in the stool
* Unexplained anemia
* Abdominal pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen
* Intestinal obstruction
* Weight loss with no known reason
* Narrow stools
