Colon/Rectal Cancer Warriors

About this group

Awareness is POWER. Colorectal cancer is PREVENTABLE. A timely colonoscopy can identify polyps which are precursors of cancer and remove them, effectively preventing cancer.
The risk of getting colon cancer before age 50 is now twice as high, and the risk of getting rectal cancer is four times
as high, for people born in 1990 as it was for those born in 1950. So please spread awareness about this very preventable cancer and tell your story! Thank you!
