CAN I GET LIFE INSURANCE IF I’VE HAD COLORECTAL CANCER?

Colorectal Cancer can be successfully treated. But can you still get affordable life insurance?

Put plainly, Colorectal Cancer is a pain in the butt. (Pardon the pun.) According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, Colorectal Cancer is the 2nd leading cancer killer in the U.S. Colorectal Cancer is a cancer that affects the colon and rectum, with tumors forming in the lining of the large intestine.
Symptoms of this cancer include: diarrhea or constipation, blood in the stool, frequent gas pains or cramps, sudden weight loss, fatigue, and nausea or vomiting. Tests for this type of cancer include a colonoscopy and checking for blood in the stool. The National Institute of Health recommends that both men and women start getting screened for colorectal cancer after age 50.
