In this episode of The Other C Word, Bisma explores the rising rates of cancer diagnoses in people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Once considered an "old age" disease, cancer is now affecting younger adults at alarming rates. Bisma shares her personal experience with stage 4 breast cancer at 35 and dives into the data behind rising cases of breast, colorectal, melanoma, and thyroid cancers. We’ll discuss potential causes, whether current screening guidelines need to be re-evaluated, and what steps we can take to stay informed and proactive. The episode also highlights the importance of early detection and advocating for your health.Stay connected and follow socials:• Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bismalalji/• TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bismalalji----------------------------------------------------------------00:00:00 Intro00:00:15 Welcome00:01:15 Rising Rates00:02:41 Which Cancers are Rising?00:07:44 Theories Behind the Rise00:57:56 Are Screening Guidelines Outdated?00:10:53 Prevention & Awareness---------------------------------------------------------------#cancerawareness #younganddiagnosed #earlydetection #healthmatters #podcast #cancerprevention #cancerresearch #breastcancerawareness #colorectalcancerawareness #melanomaawareness #thyroidcancerawareness #cancerinyour20s #cancerinyour30s #cancerinyour40s #cancerpodcast #podcastclips #breastcancerawareness #cancermindset #cancerdiagnosis #cancerfighter #cancerwarrior #breastcancerthriver #livingwithcancer #breastcancersupport #cancercommunity Learn more about your ad choices.
