Seeing lots of anal SCC patients having these blood test these days… 🦠 #HPV

When is a Hemorrhoid NOT a Hemorrhoid?
When it’s anal cancer!
It’s 2026 & in the patient support groups I’m still BLOWN AWAY (& annoyed!) at the amount of misdiagnosis/missed diagnosis still occurring daily & globally! IF IN DOUBT refer to colorectal! You could be saving a life.

Thank you, @ibramxk, for sharing your story and helping elevate the conversation around #ColorectalCancer.
Behind him stand over 27,000 blue flags—each one representing a young person projected to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2030.
These are people starting careers, raising families, finishing school, and planning their futures. Lives that will be forever changed by this disease far too soon.
Yet despite the growing crisis, colorectal cancer still has no dedicated federal research funding source.
This rise demands real investment in research.
📣 Take action: Call your members of Congress and ask them to support the creation of a Colorectal Cancer Research Program within the CDMRP to invest in lifesaving research.

I know you may feel embarrassed about going to your doctor with bum concerns (bleeding, feel a lump, itching etc) but please don’t be…your life may be depending on it.
Your doctor is a professional and wants to look after you… and will help you calmly and with dignity.

Today is International HPV Awareness Day. #HPV = human papillomavirus, a common #virus that can cause #cancer and other diseases in women and men.
Let’s BEAT HPV and prevent HPV-related cancers that take around half a million lives each year. #OneLessWorry @WHO @IGCSociety
