CRC Awareness Month

Postby utahgal7 » Sun Mar 09, 2025 8:43 am

Hi friends,

In honor of CRC awareness month, I just want to remind everyone to urge everyone they know age 45+ or earlier if having symptoms, to get a screening colonoscopy. Yes, this is the time to be a nag. Colonoscopies save lives. I have lost several friends to this disease. Gone way too soon and in the prime of their lives.

Get the colonoscopy now, don't wait. It could be a matter of life or death.

Agreed!!! Never let a dr gaslight you. If you think you need definitive answers, do not take NO for an answer. Stand your ground because you know your body better than anyone.
