Big Mike's Bottom Line

The future is inevitable, but you can change its path at any time.

1 in 5 Colorectal Cancer patients are between 20 & 49 years YOUNG!

AND THE NUMBERS ARE ON THE RISE

1 in 5 CRC patients are between the ages of 20 and 49 years old, while the numbers are on the rise | The projected number of new cancer cases in 2024 is 2M+ for the first time ever | Screening starts at 45 for most people, but you may need to screen much sooner | The best screening is the one that you do! | Your doctor wants to talk about your shit | Your family history of CRC is essential to your health, but genetic CRC only accounts for about 25% of diagnoses | Colorectal cancer is preventable | There are 20 million Americans eligible for screening who have not been screened | Consistent poop matters | Those born between 1981 - 1996 have twice the risk of being diagnosed with CRC compared to those born in 1950.

Prepare for conversations with your medical team when YOU feel it is important to discuss your bowel habits.

We will continue to share the facts about early-age onset colorectal cancer so you can be informed.

Listen and learn from the stories of families who have dealt with CRC so we can share the personal costs of NOT talking about colorectal cancer.
