During colon cancer awareness month, let’s focus on the little things

Little things truly matter. This is especially true in our fight to prevent colon cancer. Colon cancer almost always starts as tiny mushroom-looking, pre-cancerous growths called “polyps”.  Over a five- to 10-year period, these little 1mm-10mm nothings may evolve into something…cancer. Fortunately, these can be easily removed during a colonoscopy.
