Colorectal Cancer is preventable with screening exams such as colonoscopy. But too many people avoid having this potentially lifesaving test and may ignore other signs like chronic diarrhea or blood in their stool. None of this is pleasant, but if colon cancer is caught early, it is very treatable. If it advances outside the colon, it’s very, very serious.
