Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States, affecting over 150,000 men and women every year. But there is hopeful news for those who are concerned about colorectal cancer.

There is a resource available to help someone diagnosed with colorectal cancer take more control over his or her treatment decisions. It also provides information about the latest treatment developments.

The booklet-"Frankly Speaking About New Discoveries in Cancer: Special Focus on Colorectal Cancer"-is created by The Wellness Community, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free support, education and hope to people with cancer and their loved ones.

The booklet includes the most current treatment information for people affected by colorectal cancer, as well as advice on how to work with your health care team to make treatment decisions. Readers will also learn effective strategies to manage side effects, find emotional and social support and live well with colorectal cancer.
