Sometimes we put off medical tests because we are scared they will hurt or be uncomfortable. (Yes, I am talking to you.) You know you are due for your colonoscopy but just can’t make yourself pick up the phone. The horror stories you have heard about the prep and the test are keeping you from making the appointment. Why? Fear. The fear of the unknown.
Do you know what colorectal cancer testing options are available? Do you know there are other options than having a colonoscopy? Colon cancer is the second leading cancer in men and women in the United States. Do you know the best test to test for colon cancer? The one you have done.
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month – an important month in our family. Colon cancer can strike anyone, at any age. Just ask Don. Don has been cancer free almost five years. Many consider colon cancer an “older” person’s disease. It is not. (more…)
March is National Colon Cancer Awareness Month. As many of you know, colon cancer has hit close to home with us. Check out our post tomorrow to find out more about Don’s cancer diagnosis. We will be celebrating 5 years cancer free in May! For today’s list, I thought I’d share 10 Signs of Colon Cancer. And, because this is me… I am just putting it out there in normal terms.

Well, that’s what I am here for… for today’s Monday Manifest, I will be sharing reasons to Support Cones for the Cure. Ready? Let’s go…

October is breast cancer awareness month and as you know, we lost Don’s mom to her battle with breast cancer a couple of years ago. When we were contacted by Tree Classics to design a wreath for breast cancer awareness we jumped at the chance to help get the word out about breast cancer. For more information on breast cancer and your risks, talk to your doctor and check out the American Cancer Society’s website.
