March is colon cancer awareness month Hear from a cancer survivor who explains the importance of getting screening and his experience at INTEGRIS Health.
I must add, make sure you get a GOOD colonoscopy DR. I had one in June of 2008, was told I had a VERY large Hemorrhoid, to make a long story short, I gave the hemmorhoid 6 months to shrink, than asked for a referral to have the hemmorhoid banded, and the new specialist told me I had a TUMOR, they did a biopsy, and it is Cancer. PLEASE get a colonoscopy, but check out the Dr that does it first! I am 47 years old, and this does NOT run in my family! Len P
