Imagine if...
The colon plays a crucial role in our overall health, and some researchers speculate it may hold early warning signs for other forms of cancer. Imagine a future where advanced screenings for colon health could help prevent not just colon cancer but potentially other cancers as well.
Here are four thought-provoking scenarios to consider:
Imagine if early detection of colon polyps could reveal markers linked to cancers in other organs, such as the liver, pancreas, or even lungs. By addressing these warning signs at their source, we could intercept cancer before it spreads.
Imagine if routine colon screenings became the standard first step in cancer prevention, offering a proactive way to identify risks across the body. What if a simple examination could stop cancer in its tracks before it ever had the chance to grow elsewhere?
Imagine if doctors could treat colon abnormalities in their earliest stages, preventing the cascade of genetic mutations that might lead to cancers in other areas. This could revolutionize how we approach cancer care, making prevention as critical as treatment.
Imagine if we took a proactive/preventative approach with Colorectal Cancer; by allowing young people between the ages of 21-45 the choice to get a screening colonoscopy. We could potentially eradicate Colorectal Cancer and all cancers associated with Colorectal Cancer (because of metastasis) in 10-15 years. Imagine that!!!!
Help us provide free screening colonoscopies for young people!
Did you know that if you are under the age of 45, your insurance will not pay for you to have a screening Colonoscopy; unless you have a family history of Colorectal Cancer, along with symptoms (such as extreme rectal bleeding, or severe abdominal pain)?
Did you know you can live a long and productive life without your colon?
Did you know that the metastasis of colorectal cancer is the primary cause of colorectal cancer deaths?
Did you know that fighting colorectal cancer after you have been diagnosed is an unpredictable fight?
