Description: "Colorectal cancer is preventable and treatable if caught in time, yet less than 40% of the population gets routinely screened for this disease. This is a disease no want wants to talk about or be tested for. Postitive Options for Colorectal Cancer breaks that silence. Written by one of the founding members of Advocates for Colorectal Education, (ACE,) this book contains everything you need to know about this disease. The author openly answers the questions most people would like to know but feel uncomfortable asking, and she goes a long way toward taking the fear of the unknown out of treatment for colorectal cancer. Three doctors from the Minnesota Colon and Rectal Foundation, and professional nurses have checked the medical information, and members of ACE have added their expertise and more than 12 colorectal cancer survival stories to the book"--
