Over 56,000 men and
women died last year alone from colon cancer. It is the second leading
cause of cancer related deaths in this country. One out of 20 U.S.
citizens will experience this disease in their lifetime. In many ethnic
groups the numbers are much higher. The sad but encouraging truth is
that NO ONE HAS TO DIE! Colon cancer is curable over 90% of the time
when diagnosed and treated early. There is a tremendous amount of
confusion about age, screening, symptoms and treatment. You need the
facts NOW!!!!!
The Susan Cohan
Kasdas Colon Cancer Foundation began with one woman’s extraordinary
fight against colon cancer. Susie's Story ignited
a community into action. The mission of Susie’s Cause is to
dramatically reduce the death rate of colon cancer throughout the
United States and across the world. With your help, together we can
stop this dreaded disease.
