In honor of John, we encourage you to be screened for colon cancer.-Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States when combining men and women, with over 50,000 deaths annually.• New Screen Age: Guidelines now recommend starting screening at age 45. Age is nothing but a number.• Cases (2026): Estimated 158,850 new colorectal cancer cases, with 55,230 estimated deaths.• Younger Risk: 30% of diagnoses occur in people under 55.Colon cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in young people age 20-49. 45 is the recommend age to get a colonoscopy, however if you have a family history of colon cancer-or notice symptoms like persistent abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, blood in your stool, or unexplained weight loss-please talk to your doctor about getting a colonoscopy.Early detection can save lives. You do NOT have to wait until 45 and can insist upon screening. Colon cancer is often very treatable when caught early, and screening is one of the most effective ways to find it before it becomes serious.If your doctor doesn't initially recommend a colonoscopy but you have concerns or risk factors, don't be afraid to ask questions or advocate for your health. Your voice matters. Encourage your family and friends to stay informed about their health and screening options. One conversation could make a life-saving difference.Get screened for John.Please reach out to the family for services details.To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
