There are some conversations we avoid because they feel awkward.
This is one of them. And that silence can cost lives.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common and most preventable cancers when caught early. But because nobody talks about the colon or the re**um, the signs get ignored and screenings get skipped.
This Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we're changing that. One honest conversation at a time.
Understanding your body isn't oversharing. It's self-care. Share this with someone you love.
