Let’s talk about colon health and DBA. People living with Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) may have a higher chance of developing colon cancer as they get older — which is why some doctors recommend starting screenings earlier, even in your 30s. This doesn’t mean it will happen — just that it’s smart to keep an eye on things. Regular checkups and early screening can help catch any issues early, when they’re easiest to treat. DBA patients can and do live full, healthy lives — and this is one small step to help make that happen. Here’s a gentle reminder to: • Know what’s normal for your body • Talk to your doctor about when to start screening • Be your own advocate — or speak up for someone you love Because your health is worth protecting. #DBAawareness #ColonHealthMatters #DiamondBlackfanAnemia #RareButStrong #ScreeningSavesLives (fb)
