The Facts


Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of U.S. cancer deaths for men and women combined. Every year, nearly 150,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with the disease, and more than 50,000 die. Most of these deaths can be prevented by early screenings tests and treatments for the disease. Colorectal cancer is curable 90% of the time when detected early.


Symptoms to check for colon cancer:
1) Find out if your family has a history of Colon Cancer.
2) If your family does have a history of Colon Cancer, make an appointment for a Colonoscopy or speak to your doctor, ASAP.
3) If your family has no history, both men and women should have a colonoscopy at age fifty.
4) If you have any symptoms like:

Blood in Stool
Abdominal Pain
Change in Bowel Habits
Anal Discomfort


Please call your doctor and arrange for a colonoscopy.
