Some 150,000 Americans are diagnosed with colon cancer each year. But, thankfully, with increased awareness and improved therapies, theres also a growing population: the Colorectal Cancer Survivor. And as these survivors begin to live longer and stronger lives, a new set of post-treatment needs has arisen. THE COLON CANCER SURVIVORS GUIDE addresses these needs directly.
