Welcome to Deckerville Community Hospital  An estimated 52,180 people died from colorectal cancer, commonly called colon cancer, in 2007. That’s a number the American Cancer Society is working to reduce. The Society recommends adults aged 50 and older get tested for the disease. Both men and women are at risk, and 90 percent of cases are diagnosed in people older than 50. Many people may be afraid of getting tested – yet the test can save your life. Colon cancer survivor Judy Calhoun strongly encourages people to schedule their colon screening tests. “The prep isn’t that bad, and it certainly is much easier than going through treatments for advanced stages of colon cancer,” she says. “I don’t know why I didn’t have one before I did. Maybe I thought I was just too busy. I was so very, very lucky to have caught it when I did. To think about all the things I would have missed in life is frightening.” If colon cancer is found early, the survival rate is 90 percent. Yet only 39 percent of colon cancers are found at this early stage. For colon cancer found in its latest stages, the five-year survival rate is just 10 percent. Don’t wait for signs or symptoms to go to the doctor – get tested today and prevent colon cancer before it starts.
