It’s a disease many of us are familiar with and is sometimes called the silent killer .
Colon Cancer affects the large intestine, the lower part of your digestive system.
It is the second leading cause of cancer death in America. If detected early, Colon Cancer is 90 percent preventable. While it’s awkward for you to talk about, it is important to think about.
March is national Colorectal Cancer month. Dr. Nicholas Costrini of Georgia Gastroenterology Group says it would be wise for men and women to know the symptoms.
“A change in bowel habits, previously having normal bowel activity and then for no apparent reason developing constipation, or for no apparent reason developing silent seen blood in the stool. Cramping abdominal pain following meals when you never had this before,“ says Dr. Costrini. It’s recommended that you have your first colonoscopy at age 50.
