Her story could help someone recognize the warning signs earlier, advocate for themselves or a loved one, and potentially save a life.Summary:When was the last time you talked about your poop?It may feel uncomfortable, but this conversation could save your life.When Marisa Peters began experiencing symptoms, colorectal cancer wasn't even on her doctors' radar. She was young, healthy, and didn't fit the profile they expected. That assumption could have cost her life.One doctor finally recognized the warning signs and started treatment. After 11 months of treatment, Marisa survived—and turned her experience into a mission to help others.Today, through BE SEEN, she is raising awareness about colorectal cancer symptoms, prevention, screening, and the life-saving conversations too many people avoid.I thought I knew something about colorectal cancer. I was wrong. I learned so much during this conversation. Colorectal cancer is often preventable.

You never know who may recognize a symptom, ask one more question, or seek care because of what they learned today.Marisa Peters is a young-onset Stage IIIb rectal cancer survivor, author, public speaker, producer, vocalist, music artist, and proud mom of three boys.
