Please, please get the recommended screening for colorectal cancer!
A colonoscopy can detect & remove polyps BEFORE they become cancer, preventing the disease from occurring.
6 out of 10 patients are diagnosed with late stage disease mainly because they put off being screened.
9 out of 10 will survive 5+ years if caught in the early stages but only 1 in 10 will reach the 5 year mark when diagnosed in late stages.

GET YOUR REAR IN GEAR! Colon cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death. Early preventative screening can save your life!
