National Wear Blue Day for Colon Cancer Awareness
Hi, I’m Dr. Kenneth Brown, a Board Certified Gastroenterologist in Plano, Texas. Usually, I talk about bloating and abdominal discomfort, but today is different. Today is national Wear Blue day for Colon Cancer Awareness.
Fight Colon Cancer Together
Colon Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer in the US but is completely preventable. With a colonoscopy, we can remove polyps before they grow into colon cancer. At Preston Crossing Endoscopy Center, we fight colon cancer!
Joining me in this fight is Ricardo Demente Abreu, a Jiu Jitsu expert. Despite being in great shape, Ricardo reminds us that Millennials and Generation X have a 4x greater risk of colon cancer than their parents and grandparents.
Even if you’re fit like Ricardo, if you have a family history or experience warning signs like rectal bleeding or weight loss, you may still need a colonoscopy. Let’s fight colon cancer together. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Brown at our Plano Digestive Health Center location.
