Life is full of surprises: taxes, jury duty, even your cat photobombing your video call.
But here’s some reassuring news: regular screenings can actually prevent colorectal cancer.
Yes, you read that right!
If you’re 45 or older, it’s essential to get screened regularly. We know, the idea of colorectal cancer screening isn’t exactly thrilling, and adding one more task to your to-do list doesn’t sound fun. But trust us, the last thing you need is colorectal cancer.
This year alone, an estimated 151,030 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. It’s a highly preventable disease and sadly, one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in the United States.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Screening can stop colorectal cancers from forming and catch them early when treatment is most effective.
You might not have symptoms, especially in the early stages. But don’t wait for symptoms to arise. Even if you have no family history of colorectal cancer, you still need to get screened.
Starting routine screenings at 45 can truly save lives. Plus, there are various screening options available, some of which you can even do from home!
So, take that first step – talk to your doctor about screening. It’s vital, safe, and it saves lives. Maybe even yours.
