Messages to Congress

Here’s what we’re hoping our messages will show our elected officials

“Colorectal cancer needs more! We need more drugs, more funding, and more awareness to save lives.” -Sara, California
“Insurance companies should not dictate our health. If a doctor orders tests and scans. They are trying to save your life while the insurance company is trying to save money by denying your tests and scans. Every test that is pushed off may cost people their lives.” -Becky, Wyoming
“Cancer survivors should be able to get disability. I must work so I can have insurance. But it’s not easy, I work through diarrhea, painful sphincter muscle spasms, and neuropathy.” -Don, Florida
“More research needs to be done, especially as part of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program. Why there isn’t a dedicated research line for CRC makes no sense to me.” -Michael, Tennessee
“Two things that all members of Congress need to know is that the cost of treatment can ruin finances, and screening should be encouraged, and costs covered for those who can’t afford it.” -TJ, Nebraska
“I wish members of Congress would pay attention to more and more young adults being diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Please help make screening available and affordable for everyone!” -Laura, Texas
