What are some of the symptoms of Stage 1 Colorectal Cancer? What does treatment look like? Join me as I interview a friend and Stage 1 Survivor, Evan. He led an active, healthy lifestyle and never imagined cancer would be a part of it. Learn about how he was diagnosed and how his life changed afterward.
The current screening age for colorectal cancer has been lowered to 45. If you are 45 (or older), please call your doctor and ask to be screened. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer your screening age might be even lower, so talk with your doctor.
