According to @AmericanCancer Missouri will have over 3,000 NEW cases of colon cancer this year alone- that's just one state! Colon cancer is very preventable, but treatable and beatable when caught early enough. Find out more at whygetscreened.org #NPHW

Based on the latest report from @AmericanCancer Missouri ranks in the lower half of all states in the US. Especially if you are over 45, you need to be checked for colon cancer- learn about your options now: whygetscreened.org #NPHW

Men and women are equally at risk of getting colon cancer. The antiquated idea that only older men get this disease still resonates with people, and clearly it is not the case anymore. If you have symptoms or family history contact your doctor! Whygetscreened.org #NPHW

To everyone facing this pandemic head-on THANK YOU 💙🧡 #thankyou #SaferAtHome #colorectalcancer

Because of the myth that 'colon cancer is an 'old man's disease' patients & doctors don't immediately consider colon cancer as a reason for symptoms, resulting in late-stage diagnosis when it's finally caught. Young onset colon cancer is on the rise. whygetscreened.org #NPHW

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death, but one of the most preventable when detected early. About 53,200 deaths just in this year alone! Learn the symptoms, know your options, and take action! whygetscreened.org #NPHW @PublicHealth | @HealthyLivingMo
