Colon Cancer Awareness


As many of you know, I lost my husband Jay to colon cancer ten years ago.Since then, colon cancer awareness and prevention has been a cause near to my heart.I've had lots of help through the years from some recognizable faces who have loaned their talent for Public Service Announcements about the disease.March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and this video will hopefully serve as a reminder to all of you--go get screened! Thanks for watching.

I will include this in my favourites for awhile because my partner is going through this (he's going through an intense round of chemotherapy which is easier than living with the disease and which may save his life).You can save youself from this experience. Early detection means no chomo and a far better outcome. Get a colonoscopy, and insyist upon it, if in doubt. Something I have learned is that we have given up on colon cancer clients far too early in the past.This is treatable and beatable.

Hey Katie... my mom passed away 8 years ago, tomorrow. September 6th is very hard for me, I think about colon cancer alot, it is the very thing that took away my mother and is still taking people every single day... as a victim of the effects of this disease, I encourage everyone who watches your videos, everyone who knows other people, everyone who cares to stop this disease from taking the ones we love away from us... Please continue doing what you are doing, you are truly an inspiration...

Katie,Thanks so much for your commitment to getting the word out. I lost a brother at the age of 48 to colon cancer and have become my own activist. Although my approach is out of the box, I've had many people take this seriously and get screened. That's what it's all about......the BOTTOM line~get the word out.

it's sad your husband died but you have a platform to get the help people.

It's a great cause for a uncomfortable topic from such a classy informative lady.

Remember colon cancer IS NOT a mans disease!! I always thought it was. I was told at 39 years of age I have in operable colon cancer, I am female and just turned 40. I was forced to medically retire and then my insurance dropped me. I got on disability and then was told I would have to wait 2 years for medical coverage under disability. I am still on chemo and medical bills are mounting badly! Dont be stupid get tested whether your male or female.Velvet Brooks
