Screen this too

Did you know that colon cancer is one of the few cancers that you can stop before it starts?

Yesterday, my mom went for her first colonoscopy - only 18 years overdue!  The doctor found 2 polyps that he promptly removed.  Left undetected and in her colon, the chances of one or both of those polyps turning cancerous is very high.  That's why it is so very important to get the word out about colonoscopies.

Colon cancer screening tests save lives – just like breast exams and mammograms – so I'm asking you to not only remember breast health this month, but consider your colon, too.
