March is colon cancer awareness month, and a local nurse diagnosed with the disease is sounding an alarm to the community about getting screened.
“I would just say don’t ignore that. I was having rectal, bloody stools, but it wasn’t all the time. It was just intermittent,” he said.
“Colonoscopy is the gold standard to prevent and screen for colon cancer. It’s not something most people are excited about doing, but it’s really not that big a deal. It’s not painful, you’re asleep for it, and it’s not that inconvenient. In my opinion, there’s really no excuse not to do it. It could save your life,” Williams said.
“You know there’s just nothing good about having cancer, but that faith has allowed me to pick out the little good things along the way.”“Family, friends, our life group at church... I don’t know how you could go about fighting something like this alone. I don’t know how you could do it,” Williams said.
