I’ve already been screened for cancer.
After my dad’s eight year battle with Stage 4 colon cancer, I wanted to know my risk factors. I worked with my doctor to schedule a colonoscopy at 26 years old, so I could have that peace of mind. The process is incredibly simple and frankly, not even that uncomfortable… especially when you consider the alternative. And the best news, everything came back clean!
I have teamed up with @su2c this #CancerScreenWeek to encourage everyone to work with your doctor to schedule your screenings. Early detection saves lives!
