Heartbroken to hear of the passing of James Van Der Beek at just 48 after colorectal cancer.
🚨 Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in people younger than 50 years of age in the U.S.
This is no longer an “older person’s disease.”
Please:
✔️ Get screened (starting at 45 — earlier if high risk)
✔️ Don’t ignore symptoms
✔️ Talk to your doctor
Early detection saves lives.
