Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Constipations and diarrhea, blood in stool and stomach aches are very characteristic for colon cancer. If you also have lost some weight recently and feel weak and fatigue, cancer is very possible.
Of course it doesnt meant you have the cancer, but you should make sure this is not it. Such symptoms can be also caused by large intestine polyps, IBS, intestines inflammatory diseases like Crohn`s disease.
It is advisable for you to have abdominal ultrasound, full blood work and colonoscopy performed.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

i don't have a regular doctor is this something they can do at ER?
Hello!
Abdominal ultrasound and blood work can be done at ER. They can also decide to leave you at the hospital for colonoscopy. This test needs some preparation of the intestines and cant be done on ER.
Hope this will help.

is it an urgent issue like asap or can it wait till Dec?
It is not a good idea to wait till December. It is not as urgent as to go to ER right away, but it might become urgent if result with intestine obstruction. So please do not wait with it. It is too important for you.
