Apparently, March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month but even I did not know this amazing little tidbit.

Because Colon Cancer is a genetic cancer (up to 20 % have a direct family member with Colon Cancer) I have already been tested, as has my brother...and I am only 31. And I am VERY lucky I was tested this year because they did find and remove polyps that would have, if they remained, become cancerous.

My mother had 18 inches of her colon removed after her very first endoscopy revealed that she had a cancerous tumor. She was 40.

My Great-Aunt passed away just three-months after being diagnosed with Colon Cancer.

Have you been tested yet?
