Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it remains one of the leading causes of cancer deaths, especially in Black communities. The scary part? It often develops silently, with no symptoms in the early stages. That’s why regular screenings are SO important! If caught early, colorectal cancer has a 90% survival rate. But if you wait until symptoms appear, it may already be in advanced stages. ✅ Get screened starting at age 45 (or earlier if you have a family history). ✅ Pay attention to changes. Unexplained weight loss, blood in stool, or persistent stomach pain shouldn’t be ignored. ✅ Your diet matters. Eat more fiber, cut back on processed meats, and drink plenty of water! Take care of your gut, and it will take care of you! 💙 https://lnkd.in/gm4J_PDZ . #ColorectalCancerAwareness #GetScreened #HealthMatters #CancerPrevention #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #firstladieshealthinitiative #firstladieshealth

As a cancer survivor myself, I can not stress the importance of listening to your body. Be alert if changes are happening with your skin or daily routines. Listen to your body! #earlydetectioniskey #cancersurvivor #colorectalcancerawareness

💙 Take Control of Your Health! 💙 Colorectal cancer is preventable and treatable when caught early. Prioritize regular screenings, maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber, and stay active. Limit processed meats, quit smoking, and reduce alcohol intake - small changes can make a big difference. Early detection saves lives. Don’t wait, take action today! . #ColorectalCancerAwareness #HealthMatters #GetScreened #CancerPrevention #BlueRibbon #EarlyDetection #HealthyLiving #Wellness #FirstLadiesHealthInitiative #FirstLadiesHealth

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Colorectal cancer often begins as abnormal growths called polyps, which can develop into cancer over time. The good news? Early detection through regular screening can prevent or catch it early when treatment is most effective. 💙🎗️ Take charge of your health. Know the signs, get screened, and encourage your loved ones to do the same.  . #ColorectalCancerAwareness #GetScreened #CancerPrevention #HealthMatters #FirstLadiesHealth #ColorectalCancer #EarlyDetectionSavesLives
