Resources for survivors over 50

Take charge

Own it

You've worked hard to get where you are now. Own your survivorship by learning all you can about staying healthy after cancer.

Support others

Alliance online community

Everyone touched by colorectal cancer can play a part in our online community. Whether you need help today or are ready to help others – we encourage you stay active with us.

Stay healthy

Now that you have completed your treatment, you and your care team should discuss your follow-up care plan. The plan will include ongoing monitoring for cancer recurrence and should also address lifestyle and emotional needs.

Support research

Clinical trials for survivors

Clinical trials test cutting-edge approaches for treating, diagnosing, or preventing colorectal cancer. Be a part of research while being proactive as a survivor over 50.

Raise awareness

Walk to end colon cancer

Most people don't know that colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the United States or that it's highly preventable — and that’s why we’re turning up the volume on this disease.

Get involved

It's going to take every one of us
