Jamie spent the last weeks and months of her life providing education about colorectal cancer. Here's a list of symptoms from a link she provided on her blog:
SYMPTOMS OF COLORECTAL CANCER
* The most common symptom is no symptom at all
* Change in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, narrow stools)
* Unexplained weight loss, vomiting, lack of energy, unexplained anemia
* Blood (often not visible) in the stool (poop) or from rectum (bum)
* Abdominal pain/discomfort (gas, bloating, cramps, feeling that the bowel doesn't empty completely)
If you have any of these symptoms for more than a few weeks, see a doctor and get a colonoscopy!

Nate,
Thanks for stopping by. I'm very saddened by the loss of your friend, Jamie. I only knew her via her blog about her cancer experiences, but she was truly someone I would have liked to have met. I am impressed by Jamie's intelligence, love of family and friends and fighting spirit.
