There was no vomiting, no alteration in the bowel habit and there was no yellowish discoloration of the skin. The patient also did not have shortness of breath, abdominal pain, fever, or any urinary symptoms. He had normal bowel habits with no history of passing out melenic stool. He has no significant family history of malignancy. He smokes 5 to 6 sticks per day and consumes alcohol occasionally. He took notice of his symptoms only when he came across the news death of Black Panther’s lead actor, Chadwick Boseman. His assumption was he had colon cancer like Boseman.
