So as a lot of us know, because I do talk about colon cancer quite a bit, especially recently, it is colon cancer awareness month in March.

And I think it's really important to just make sure you're watching for symptoms, talking to your loved ones, especially if they are over 45, because the screening age and like what they're doing colonoscopies at now is 45.

It's been lowered.

So talk to your loved ones, especially if you know they have stomach issues.

I think it's crucial to address early.

It's one of the only types of cancer that's actually preventable.

And I've heard colonoscopies are the best naps you'll ever have.

Mine is scheduled for April.

Justin's is scheduled for April.

It's going to be really, really good.

Obviously, don't

psych yourself out and get one if you don't need one.

But there's some common symptoms and I'm going to talk about them after we get into this story.

And this isn't necessarily a part of our rare breed theme, but I really just want to read this story because colon cancer is something that's like really affected my family.

And I've gotten so many messages and comments from listeners out there saying me talking about it encouraged you to talk to your mom and they discovered stage three cancer and now she's fine.

Like,

I'm sharing something on Instagram that has just been really meaningful for me.

And so I want to talk about it.

Yeah.

And at the top of the month, right when it's, you know, conversations really going.
