2/#ChadwickBoseman was full of grace & strength, keeping this devastating secret from public as he braved chemotherapy & other treatments to battle this disease. Pls understand that the age of onset in his case is unusually young, but we do see #coloncancer more often in Blacks
3/ Rates in adults under age 50 are also on the rise.
As we cope with an unimaginable loss— a literal super-hero— please take a moment to learn about colon cancer risk and screening.

Unfortunately we are seeing this horrible disease in young adults now. But we are able to cure colon cancer if we find it early.
Regardless of age, you MUST have a colonoscopy if experiencing symptoms (blood in stool, rectal pain, change in stools, weight loss) AT ANY AGE.
