That “small dark spot” on the foot? 👣🖤
Sometimes that’s how melanoma begins.

No pain.
No warning.
Just silence… until it spreads 😔

And in Black skin, melanoma often hides on the feet, palms, and under the nails.

Please don’t ignore changing dark spots.
Early checks save lives 🙏🏾❤️

A simple FIT test can save your life 🧪❤️

Colon cancer often starts quietly 🤫
No pain. No clear warning 🚫
By the time symptoms show, disease may already be advanced ⏳

The FIT test looks for hidden blood in your stool 🩸
You do it at home 🏠
No prep. No diet changes. No hospital visit 🚫🏥
Just a small sample. A few minutes ⏱️

Why this matters
• Detects early cancer before symptoms 🔍
• Finds precancerous polyps that can be removed ✂️
• Takes minutes to complete ⏱️
• Proven to reduce deaths from colon cancer 📉

Who should test
• Age 35 to 40 and above 🎯
• Earlier if you have a family history 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
• Anyone with red flags
blood in stool 🩸
unexplained anemia 🧬
change in bowel habits 🚽

What happens next
• Negative test. Repeat yearly 🔁
• Positive test. Do a colonoscopy. Do not delay 🚨

Reality you need to hear
Late colon cancer is harder to treat ⚠️
Early colon cancer is often curable 💪

You have a window. Use it ⏳

If you are in Kenya, you can order a home FIT test easily 🇰🇪
It costs about 990 KES 💸

POV: how an oncologist is made 💧
Some things you train for…
Some things you carry.

Small pours were lies 😅
The heavy pours? That’s the job.

You learn fast:
Hope and reality don’t always agree.
But you show up anyway. Every single time.

If this hit you, share it with someone who thinks this job is “just medicine” 🤍
