Friend,
This Valentine’s Day, I’m skipping the roses and chocolates in favor of a more lasting gift: a few sage words of health advice.
I’m talking about the importance of getting screened for colon cancer.
If you’re age 50 or older or at high risk of developing colon cancer, now’s the time to get checked—and to encourage others you love to do the same. Even if you’re younger, you can help by forwarding this e-mail to at least five other people you care about.
After all, early screening can prevent one in three deaths related to colon cancer, thanks to today’s detection technology. Sadly, only one in 10 people survive colon cancer if it’s detected at an advanced stage, and nearly 50,000 people in the United States were expected to die from colon cancer this year.
You can start by taking this simple test to see if you’re at risk. Then get the facts on the different screening methods, and talk to your doctor about what’s best for you.
Scores of community leaders are thankful that they got screened, and you will be, too. Declare your support for this critical cause today, and visit the endcoloncancernow.org Web site to get all the facts.
It’s simple: Your colon. Your life. Your call.
