Colon Cancer – Preventable, Treatable, Beatable!
Thursday, April 7th, 2016
Colon cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death. Anyone can get colon cancer, and the risk of being diagnosed with colon cancer is 1 in 19. Many colon cancer deaths can be prevented by early and regular screenings. Screening tests locate polyps, which are tiny growths that can become cancerous. The goal in screening is to find colon cancer in its earliest stages and to remove polyps before they become cancerous. Colon cancer often appears without symptoms, so screening is essential in catching and stopping the disease early.Current guidelines recommend first getting screened at age 50 or earlier if you have a family history of the disease. When caught early, colon cancer is both treatable and beatable.
Cary Gastroenterology Associates, the Women’s Center for GI Health and South Wake Gastroenterology are committed to improving the health of our community by promoting and supporting colon cancer screening. Our staff is available to provide information on the importance of colon cancer screening and answer questions to ensure preventive screening becomes top priority.

Control Your Stress Before it Controls You
Tuesday, April 5th, 2016
It must be emphasized that the physiological changes associated with the acute stress response are absolutely necessary for survival in a stressful environment. If you could not produce these changes you could not deal with stress and you would die. HOWEVER, we are not designed to be under chronic stress. What was designed to be helpful in an acute fight or flight situation is now being stimulated chronically for days, weeks, months, years!
