Colon Cancer
According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the third most common cancer for men and women in America, and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in America.
If you’ve been diagnosed with colon cancer, here are some useful videos and resources. While we don’t understand personally what it is like to live with cancer, chances our you and I have experienced some of the same procedures and surgeries because of our bowel diseases.
If you have made videos chronicling your cancer experience, email Dennis@UCVlog.com or Nadia@UCVlog.com.
