If you’re 50 or older, the following test can save your life: Which person has early warning signs of colon cancer?
COPY:
The answer is: neither. There are usually no early warning signs with colon cancer, the second leading cancer killer in Utah. It strikes both men and women of all races, so it doesn’t draw attention to itself — until it’s too late.
But with regular colon cancer screening tests, you greatly improve your chances of beating this killer for life. So if you’re 50 or older, please call your doctor today and get an appointment for a colon cancer screening.

Rosa Gonzalez
7/12/52–1/14/04Rosa Gonzalez, age 52, died in her sleep after a long and courageous battle with colon cancer. She will be missed dearly. She was born on January 12th, 1952, in Brownsville, Texas, to Cecilia and Miguel Garcia, the first of eleven children. She married Hector Gonzalez in 1972, and the two had three sons and one daughter together.
She lived the full range that life has to offer. From nights filled with dancing to reflective moments hiking high in the mountains, she did it all.
With so much vibrant energy, she never considered that colon cancer might strike her down. It wasn’t until too late that she discovered that there are no warning signs of colon cancer.
She is survived by her husband, Hector, and her four children: Alicia, Maria, Tara, and Martin. She was also blessed with seven grandchildren during her life, and two more shall join us soon.
In lieu of flowers, the Gonzalez family strongly suggests everyone over the age of 50 get a colon cancer screening. Please call your doctor to find out which screening option is right for you.
