STIGMA, LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, AND AWARENESS ARE THE BARRIERS TO CRC AWARENESS AND PREVENTION – SO LET’S CHANGE THAT!
Routine Screening begins at the age of 45.
For some, that’s just too late.
CRC is not only preventable, but also and treatable when caught early.
In order to be your best advocate, you have to know the signs and symptoms!
Big Mike’s Bottom Line is committed to providing you with the information you need, just in case.
WE’RE BRINGING THE MESSAGE TO LIFE WITH FRESH, CREATIVE WAYS TO TALK ABOUT EARLY WARNING SIGNS, PREVENTION & WHY TIMELY SCREENING ISN’T JUST SMART, IT’S LIFE-SAVING.

Color, size, shape, and smell all matter
Take a peek after every bowel movement, and make note of ongoing changes. The changes may suggest a discussion with your medical team.

Together we can end colorectal cancer as we know it.
Start a Ripple today. Every conversation can start a ripple, every ripple can save a life.
What’s the message?
Colorectal cancer is preventable & treatable – especially when caught early.
Many people avoid the conversation because if can be uncomfortable, has a stigma, or just a lack of awareness of the impact of the disease.
It’s easy to start the ripple – we just have to start with those we love.
Commit to starting these ripples:
1. Start a conversation with someone you love about CRC – spread awareness.
2. Share a conversation with someone outside of your family. Everyone deserves it!
3. Take Action – do something to create the wave. Disrupt the silence, break the stigma, make it OK to talk about the uncomfortable if that means saving a life.
