Dahlgren was screened earlier than the recommended age, catching the disease in her early 30s.
Doctors say if she had waited until the typical screening age of 45 it would have been too late.
Dahlgren says more cases of Colorectal Cancer have been manifesting in young people without any symptoms. “Most people think that it’s an old man’s disease and over 50 people get it,” she said.
“But so many people diagnosed at later stages that have gone to their providers, and have been sort of ignored because of their age. Don’t take your provider telling you that age is not, you shouldn’t worry about it,” said Dahlgren.
DULUTH, MN (CBS-3) - A Duluth landmark turned blue Tuesday night, raising awareness about a deadly disease. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
