For all our #colorectalcancer survivors dealing with LARS, this is for you. 💙 Low anterior resection surgery is one option for treating colorectal cancer. It involves removing part of the colon with cancer and reconnecting the remaining pieces. This “hook-up,” called an anastomosis, shortens the colon—and that can lead to low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). We’re talking urgency, stool clustering, constipation, pain… the list goes on. That’s why we asked our badass friend CC to share her top tips for managing LARS. Have any of these worked for you? Stay tuned for part two!
#FightCRC's Advocacy Team met this week at HQ📍in Springfield, Missouri to map out what's ahead. We're kicking off August with our Local Drop-Off Challenge and after that, we'll roll out action alerts and key updates on the National Cancer Institute and cancer research funding. Stay tuned to learn how you can get involved and take action. 💪 #RelentlessChampions #ColorectalCancer #AdvocacyInAction

📣📣📣 The Senate just proposed a $150 million increase for the National Cancer Institute (NCI). It’s a big win, and we should celebrate it! But it’s not final. We need our #colorectalcancer advocates to keep showing up and speaking out. Now’s the time to make sure this funding stays in the final budget. Help us protect funding that saves lives—sign up to be an advocate today (link in bio).
