My Aunt told me about this.

I saw this posted at ABCNEWS.GO.COM.

"C?NCER: Aprovecha hoy la energ?a para cualquier tipo de comunicaci?n escrita o verbal. La paciencia que mantengas podr? ser recompensada."

My sister, Sarah,told me about this.

"( American Cancer Society ) A new analysis has found that while colon cancer rates have remained steady over the past several decades among people under the age of 40, rectal cancer rates are increasing in this population across races and in both sexes."
