Does a colonoscopy hurt? No. You can get sedation and wake up when it’s over. Your doctor looks for polyps and cancer inside your colon, using a flexible scope. Don’t worry—you are asleep while this happens. Learn more about how a colonoscopy is performed: https://t.co/2aRfPi1U4g

Rectal Cancer Fact #7: Rectal cancer can develop without any symptoms. Have a physician investigate if you experience rectal bleeding, pain, constipation, weight loss or fatigue. Learn more about symptoms of #rectalcancer: https://t.co/OnwzTqMaON

Rectal Cancer Fact #5: Everyone 50 or older should get screening for #colorectalcancer. 23m people haven't been yet! If you're 50 and haven't had a screening, see your provider for a referral. Catch those polyps before they turn into cancer! Learn more: https://t.co/JlmQQuNzuV

Rectal Cancer Fact #2: A diagnosis of #rectalcancer does NOT mean you will have to have an #ostomy for the rest of your life. Most of the time, the tumors can be removed and the colon reattached to bottom of the rectum or the anus. Learn about ostomies: https://t.co/R7G9LRxAvM
