March is Colon Cancer Screening month

50,000 die every year from Colon Cancer.For this reason,March is designated to urge people over 40 to get their colon screened.
          25% of people over 50 have polyps--polyp is source of cancer.By detecting a polyp and removing it on time,this cancer is avoided.
 Katie Couric took her friend couple of years ago for screening when she turned 50. Lo behold--Kim had 5 polyps and one of them was cancerous.
          Dr.Oz of famous TV show--likewise went for screening at 50.He was shocked to find precancerous polyp. Now Dr.Oz or Kim had NO symptom-both were in good health and ate well,exercised regularly.
