March is #ColorectalCancer Awareness month, and all this month I'll be pestering you about getting a #colonoscopy

In today's news, NBC shares new information about the increasing occurrence of rectal cancer.

FACTS:
- Colorectal cancer is the #1 cancer killer for people younger than 50
- Colorectal cancer rates in people under 65 has increased from 27% of new cancer detections, to 45% just in the last 30 years

I survived, but a lot of people don't. Chadwick Boseman (#BlackPanther) and James Van Der Beek did not.

Please, PLEASE read this article, and get screened for colon #cancer!

@scottwilson Every two years. My sister died from colorectal cancer when she was 38. She would have been 43 this year.
