🔴 TRIGGER WARNING 🔴
This episode contains discussions about the loss of a loved one to colon cancer. Listener discretion is advised.
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and in this deeply personal episode of Save Our Sisters Unplugged, I share my sister’s courageous battle with colon cancer and the lasting impact it has had on our family.
Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early. The American Cancer Society recommends that adults at average risk begin regular screenings at age 45, and earlier for those with family history or increased risk factors.
In this episode, we discuss:
• The importance of early detection and routine colonoscopies
• Recognizing symptoms and understanding risk factors
• How family history affects colon cancer risk
• The emotional impact of diagnosis and loss
• The power of open health conversations within families
My sister’s journey is a reminder that awareness leads to action — and action can save lives.
Let’s normalize conversations about colon health, prioritize screenings, and advocate for ourselves and those we love.
