March 1st is the start of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
I thought some of you would want to encourage other people to be pro-active in relation to this (often) preventable, treatable, and beatable disease, the colorectal cancer. I'd like to share some memes I have collected and that you can use to post on your social media or share in other ways to raise your relatives and friends' awareness, hopefully leading them to get tested.

1 ReactionThis can give some hope in some way, within certain limits as the article mentions: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/13/health/colon-cancer-blood-test.html?unlocked_article_code=1.cU0.Z_IE.Za6T4OIJkEPo&smid=url-share.

1 ReactionGreat initiative which I hope can be expanded to the UK too - I haven't seen any mention of it so far but will contact relevant organisations.
Good news today - cancer deaths in the UK are at an all time low over the past 25 years. This indicates the amazing advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment over this period. Spreading the word further re. colon cancer should enable further reductions in the future.
