This month, we shine a light on colorectal cancer, a disease that affects thousands of families every year, yet is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when detected early.
Colorectal cancer begins in the colon or re**um, often developing from small growths called polyps that may not show symptoms at first. That is why regular screening truly saves lives.
Here is what you should know:
โข It can affect both men and women
โข Risk increases after age 45
โข Early stages may have no symptoms
โข Screening tests like colonoscopy can detect and remove precancerous polyps
Common warning signs may include:
โข Changes in bowel habits
โข Blood in stool
โข Unexplained weight loss
โข Persistent abdominal discomfort
But do not wait for symptoms before getting checked.
This March, let us:
โ Encourage loved ones to get screened
โ Share lifesaving information
โ Support survivors and remember those we have lost
โ Choose healthier lifestyles through balanced diet, regular exercise, and routine checkups
Early detection is not just awareness. It is action.
Talk to your healthcare provider today. Screening could save your life or someone you love.
