I’ve been reading so many stories about how people have found out they had stage 4 Colon cancer because they went to the ER due to constipation and that’s it... no blood, no severe stomach pain (basically no overall stage 4 symptoms)...how can this happen???

Yes. My friend's sister died of cancer and had no symptoms.

Many cancers can be very advanced and still only be causing fairly mild symptoms that are often ignored.

Can someone have stage 4 colon cancer with out any alarming symptoms? Yes
Changes happen slowly and most don't talk about these sort of functions. So they just become the norm for that person.

That's why we do routine diagnostic colonoscopy...

They can have stage 4 colon cancer without "alarming" symptoms.
They can't have stage 4 colon cancer without symptoms. They just ignore the symptoms.
