Hi there and Happy September! September is blood cancer awareness month. Every three minutes someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a form of blood cancer. This is why it is important to know some of the signs and symptoms associated with blood cancer. Some of them are:

• Lethargy
• Unusual bruising
• Shortness of breath
• Tiny red dots on your skin from broken blood vessels
• Bowel movements that are black or streaked with red
• And for women, unusually heavy periods

Knowing these signs could help you or a loved one catch cancer early. If you are experiencing any of these signs don't be afraid to call! Be safe and have a great month!

November is American Diabetes Month!

Type 2 diabetes develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin. Exactly why this happens is unknown, but known contributing factors are genetics and environmental factors – such as being overweight and inactive.

We can’t change genetics, but we can sure change our diet and exercise! The best way to counteract diabetes is exercise (like walking) and limiting high calorie foods.

Call the office to find out your screening options today!

August is Breast Cancer Awareness month!
Did you know that 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime?
Men!! You could be at risk too! It is estimated that 2,620 new cases of breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men alone in 2020!
Using techniques such as monthly self exams, mammograms starting at age 40 and identifying signs and symptoms as well as risk factors can greatly improve detection and treatment success!

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Especially when it comes to colorectal cancer, the third leading cause of cancer in the United States amongst adults. If you're 50+ years of age, schedule an appointment with Dixie or Ed to discuss whether a colonoscopy or non-invasive Cologard (https://www.cologuardtest.com) is the right diagnostic tool for you.
