Cancer Awareness Month

March is the Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Colorectal Cancer is the most common cancer in Singapore for men and women combined. Over 1,000 new patients are diagnosed each year. However, Colorectal Cancer is very curable if detected early and treated promptly.

I lost my dearest grandmother to Colorectal Cancer and it caused her quite a big amount of discomfort in the last days of her life. So if your loved ones are above 50, please tell them that having an annual colon screening can help detect the cancer early, and prompt treatment will very probably be very effective.
