HGTV in a nutshell: Hi, we’re Todd and Angel. We met online and have been dating for 4 days. He collects seashells, and I like kittens for a living. We need a starter home. We want an open concept, and our budget is $2.5 million.

#ChadwickBoseman ’s bright light was extinguished far too soon because of an awful disease, that often goes undetected until it’s too late. That’s how colon cancer works. I know. Doctors guessed my mom was sick for 10 years before she was diagnosed.

Colon cancer affects all ages but is hitting younger people more often. There’s research looking more into why. African Americans are at a higher risk... some genetic risk factors. Another risk factor? Lack of access to care, screening.
