The impact of colorectal cancer extends far beyond surgery and treatment. @NYPost highlights 3 side effects people don’t talk about enough: emotional distress, body image changes, and long-term digestive unpredictability. #medtwitter #health #cancer nypost.com/2025/02/05/hea…

Colorectal cancer rates are higher in the Black community, with a 40% higher death rate. But early screening saves lives. If you're 45+ or have a family history, get checked. Prioritize your health this #BlackHistoryMonth. #ColorectalCancer #GetScreened #MedTwitter

An alarming trend you need to be aware of. Younger people are getting colorectal cancer, and colonoscopy screenings are still the best way to catch and treat it early. Thank you TashaneaWhitlowNews FOX 5 NY for inviting me on Good Day New York. 🩺 #medtwitter #coloncancer

This small sign could mean something bigger. Don't wait. Rectal bleeding is your body’s way of saying, “Hey, pay attention!” If you notice blood, don’t brush it off. Have a conversation with a colorectal specialist. #ColonHealth #PatientEducation #Colonoscopy #Healthcare
