colorectal cancer awareness month
...please ask all of your friends and family, age 50 or over, if they have had a colonoscopy. today.

"Despite its high incidence, colorectal cancer is one of the most detectable and, if found early enough, most treatable forms of cancer. Over 90% of those diagnosed while the cancer is still localized survive more than five years. Currently, however, only 37% of colorectal cancers are detected while still localized.
It's Treatable. Get Screened."
