Colon Cancer On The Rise For Young People
May be time to get checked, or talk to your doctor about it. Colon cancer is on the rise in young people. Some studies are showing those born in 1990 are twice as likely to get diagnosed with colon cancer than someone born in 1950, and four times as likely to be diagnosed with rectal cancer.
This is serious especially if cancer runs in your family. A few of my aunts and uncles had colon cancer, and I lost my mother to it when I was 26 years old. She was only 66 and it was heartbreaking for me and my 8 brothers and sisters.
