Colon Cancer Awareness
The slogan best used during colon cancer awareness month is "preventable, beatable, and treatable." So why is that so many people still succumb to the disease that is so easily 'preventable, beatable and treatable.' Well frankly, many people still do not get year check-ups and colonoscopies. For those of you still concerned about the embarrassment and discomfort with traditional methods, try virtual colonoscopies, they are non-invasive and require far less from your pre-procedure wise.
KKTV reported on the awareness month, "So living such a healthy lifestyle, it came as a shock when some unusual bleeding... led to the diagnosis of colon cancer."It was really surprising to me because I didn't have any other symptoms," said Hart. "I was feeling fine."Susan is not alone. The number of men and women diagnosed with colorectal cancer every year is growing. Dr. Jason Huff with Penrose Cancer Center says we all need to be aware."
The doctor interviewed also recommended that even if you are healthy to shift your lifestyle to exercise more, eat less red meat, eat more fruits and veggies and get screened yearly.
