It’s the words no one wants to hear - you have cancer. But, unfortunately, roughly two million people in this country will be diagnosed with cancer this year. And one of the most common cancers - is colon cancer. Today, we look at why colorectal cancer is on the rise in America - why we are seeing higher rates in young people than ever before - and why young men seem so susceptible. We will also look at who is most at risk - what those risk factors are - and what lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk. Plus, did you know the recommended age for a colonoscopy is younger now - if you’re 45, it’s time to get the screening. And if you don’t want to go in for a colonoscopy - we’ll tell you about the way you can test at home. It’s information that may save your life - or a loved one’s life. So stick around while we answer all your questions on colon cancer.
