March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Colorectal cancer is a cancer that starts in the colon or re**um, which are parts of the digestive system. Unlike most cancers, colorectal cancer is often preventable with screening and highly treatable when detected early. One in 24 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in their lifetime. It is the No. 4 most common cancer in the U.S. among men and women combined. If you are 45, it’s time to talk to your provider about screening.

After two heartbreaking losses, they kept searching for answers together… and that journey led to a healthy baby boy, Derek.
