Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
Colorectal cancer, also known as bowel cancer, develops in polyps on the inner lining of the colon and rectum, both of which are part of the large intestine.
According to statistics, colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in The Bahamas, ranking behind breast and prostate cancer.
While polyps are generally not harmful, some can turn cancerous and spread to other parts of the body, where they can cause debilitating damage to tissues.

Congratulations you all for a job well done on the first ever Virtual Ball. The event was a mammoth task to execute, but the results were phenomenal.
Who would have thought a virtual ball would have reached so many sponsors that unselfishly supported the mission and vision of the Cancer Society of The Bahamas financially during this critical time of the Corona Virus pandemic.
Thank you Lovern Wildgoose and Nicole Leary-Imhoff, as well as your Committee, as you all have proven that your time and talents are priceless. This year’s event has set the standard and provided a blueprint for next year’s event to be even bigger and better.
Of course we could never repay you for all that you do for the Cancer Society of The Bahamas, but if the world becomes a better place tomorrow, it will happen because of volunteers like you.
