Stories of Colon Cancer survivors tell us that 5-14 deaths per day in Illinois are Preventable.

Please Read stories of Colon Cancer survivors and be a survivor and not a victim.

As a doctor,my worst nightmare is,when I see someone with late stage colon cancer.I ask--why did you not come to me early?

          Then I realize-- this person needs help--yes mistake was made.Dwell on next steps.

           So as a doctor watching many unnecessary deaths every day from Colon Cancer--I ask the 50% who have neglected  to get Colon Cancer Screening--WHY ARE YOU TAKE A RISK?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS5eR0917ts    Here Larry King interviews Dr.OZ who discovered that he had Precancerous Polyp at age 50.He was shocked as he is perfectly healthy,eats healthy foods for Colon.

        Dr.OZ tells you that 1 in 4 are at risk of having a Polyp that may be the source of Cancer. THINK!!!

             If you are the one--in 50% of people over 50 who have avoided Colon Cancer screening--then you could be one of those 5-14 deaths per day in our state of Illinois.

              Those with family history should get screening early.

          GET YOUR REAR IN GEAR has stories of people getting Colon Cancer at 30 and some in 40's.

        So please take my advice; Give us a call at 630 232 2025 and we can discuss your concerns for delaying.Perhaps we can work out a way--to avoid this deadly cancer that kills 50,000 per year in USA.
