Cancer Can Kill You, But It Doesn't Have To!

Getting screened if you are above the age of 45 is important, regardless if you are showing symptoms. Additionally, if you are under 45 and display symptoms, routine screening for Colorectal Cancer (CRC) and Prostate Cancer directly impacts the number of long-term survivors.

Don't ignore the symptoms of CRC and Prostate Cancer:

We can decrease colorectal and prostate cancer in Wisconsin.  Screening can detect cancer and catch it at the earliest possible stage, thereby improving the success of treatment and reducing mortality from the disease.

​Common symptoms for CRC:
  • Change in 💩 habits
  • Blood during bowel movement
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Feeling that the bowel does not empty all the way
  • Abdominal pain, aches, or cramps that don't go away
  • Having weight loss and you don't know why
  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Weak or interrupted urine flow
  • Urinating often, especially at night
  • Trouble emptying the bladder completely
  • Pain or burning during urination
  • Blood in the urine or semen
  • Pain in the back, hips, or pelvis that doesn’t go away
  • Painful ejaculation
“Screening tests [for colorectal cancer] can find precancerous polyps, so they can be removed before turning into cancer,” says the CDC.
