Ladies: Don’t Forget Your Colon!

We all know mammograms save lives—but so can colonoscopies! Colore**al cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in women, yet it’s highly preventable with early screening.

🔹 1 in 24 women will face colore**al cancer in their lifetime.
🔹 Many cases show no symptoms until it’s advanced.
🔹 Early detection can literally save your life.

Think of a colonoscopy like a mammogram for your colon—catching issues before they become serious. Most women should start at age 45, sooner if family history is a concern.

💡 Take charge of your health:
✅ Schedule your colonoscopy
✅ Talk to your doctor about your risk
✅ Encourage the women you love to do the same
