I&#8217;m feeling really good emotionally. You know, it&#8217;s a lot,&#8221; the &#8220;Dawson&#8217;s Creek&#8221; and &#8220;Varsity Blues&#8221; actor told Roberts, nearly a year and a half since his diagnosis. &#8220;It&#8217;s really a ride.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Van Der Beek first shared his diagnosis publicly in November,\u00a0writing\u00a0on Instagram that he was &#8220;getting treatment and dialing in my overall health with greater focus than ever before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">The 47-year-old actor, a father of six, has not shared specific details of his diagnosis, which he first received in August 2023, or his treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I was honestly in shock,&#8221; Van Der Beek recalled to &#8220;GMA&#8221; after receiving the diagnosis. &#8220;I was doing what I thought I needed to do by getting a colonoscopy, which obviously, I did need to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I was in amazing cardiovascular shape. I was eating what I thought was healthy, and I had a whole agenda for what I thought my year would be and what I thought my priorities would be in the next couple of weeks and months,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And the reality that all of that was going to change and take a different trajectory \u2013 it felt like a nightmare, honestly, at first, that I couldn&#8217;t quite wake up from. And yeah, it&#8217;s a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Van Der Beek&#8217;s decision to announce his diagnosis publicly quickly put a spotlight on the\u00a0rising rates\u00a0of colorectal cancer among young people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">While cases of colorectal cancer have decreased over the last decade in adults over 55 \u2013 thanks in large part to cancer screening \u2013 rates in people younger than 55 are increasing. Colon cancer is now the number-one cause of cancer death among men younger than 50, and the number-two cause of death in women in the same age group,\u00a0according to\u00a0the American Cancer Society.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">In July,\u00a0new data from the American Cancer Society showed colorectal cancer was one of 17 cancers for which Gen X and Millennials are more at risk than previous generations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">The 2020 death of 43-year-old actor\u00a0Chadwick Boseman\u00a0due to colon cancer drew attention to the growing trend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Colorectal cancer, which is cancer that begins in the colon or the rectum, is the fourth most common cancer in men and women and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States,\u00a0according to\u00a0the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<\/p>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO GbsKS pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW AMhAA daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc ebfE nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY VvTxJ iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM hbvnu OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD iShaE ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV kRoBe oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX \">\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Van Der Beek said he has leaned on his optimism during the last year as he faced cancer head-on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;There are a couple things that I knew. As soon as I got diagnosed, I knew, all right, this is going to add many happy years to my life,&#8221; Van Der Beek said. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to make changes that I never would have made otherwise, that I&#8217;m going to look back on in 30 years and say, &#8216;Thank God this happened.&#8217; So, what can I do right now in order to make that the case? And that&#8217;s how it was, about 90% of the time, I would say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;But 10% of the time, I was a sobbing, terrified mess, which I feel like is a pretty good percentage,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But, yeah, it&#8217;s been an exercise in just being present to all of it and really just allowing the fear to come up and look at it and also say, &#8216;All right, why is this in my prescription? Why are all these emotions coming up and how can this be great for me?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO GbsKS pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW AMhAA daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc ebfE nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY VvTxJ iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM hbvnu OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD iShaE ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV kRoBe oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX \" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div>\n<section class=\"CHWlW ZgZTu FlDNH hQfuy feniZ wBpop uAyYK yJYJo OGgqj tQHio PCVZs  Kiog iKqXF eeiyR \" data-testid=\"prism-collection\">\n<div class=\"EwJTR UpiKB sKbok RsAxh msYPt zKjNI SXHxp OaElp halTF KzevM LFuuA xTOeQ jLoop FbRJS VsDDe puLAk IlWTY uPokU OSGug wBYl eBjQR NZiwR  liAe uMOq zYIfP pYgZk Mxrkk hsDdd lZur TPpRg NoUSU igcMP DtJWr QgBvn DFdlJ \" data-testid=\"prism-card\">\n<div class=\"QGHKv iVcn avodi rEPuv ICwhc ibBnq \">\n<div class=\"VZTD HNQqj QXDKT QBuju SHKi nCIGi NxHUa sJErG nJjCu dlVQH \" data-testid=\"prism-meta\">\n<div class=\"CJAFL gDeX \">\n<h3 id=\"JamesVanDerBeekisadaheadline\" class=\"PFoxV eBpQD rcQBv bQtjQ lQUdN GpQCA mAkiF FvMyr WvoqU \">James Van Der Beek is a dad of 6: What to know about his family<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zzkIM UtCfs Ufjyt  XQpSH \" data-testid=\"prism-divider\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Van Der Beek also said his family \u2013 especially his wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek \u2013 has been right there next to him, offering much-needed support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;She&#8217;s been amazing. She&#8217;s really taught me what unconditional love is,&#8221; Van Der Beek said of his wife. &#8220;And I&#8217;m someone who always in the past tried to do everything for everybody and never asked for help myself, and this has put me in a position of having to ask for help and having to receive help. And the beautiful blessing of that has been seeing how many people in my life have shown up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Van Der Beek said his cancer diagnosis has been scary but at the same time, it has also helped his family grow closer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;They all respond differently. They all hide differently. Some of them are very outward with their fears, and they talk about them and some of them, it manifests in other ways and other behavioral ways or they get really quiet,&#8221; he said of his kids.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;But again, it&#8217;s also an opportunity for connection, to really go deep with them and ask them, &#8216;How are you feeling?&#8217; and be there with them,&#8221; Van Der Beek added. &#8220;It&#8217;s really scary for them and they had a very close friend pass from an incredibly rare brain tumor at the same time. So there was a lot of cancer talk flying around and a lot of it was really scary &#8230; but they&#8217;re doing great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Van Der Beek said he hopes that by sharing his story, he can raise awareness of colorectal cancer and the preventative screenings that can help save lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;The more I could get the word out to get tested, get your colonoscopies, get scanned even before you have symptoms &#8230; whatever I can do to get that word out,&#8221; he said. &#8220;As amazing and cathartic as this year has been, it&#8217;s been really tough. If I can help spare anyone the experience of my last year, I would definitely do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO fnRUo pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW RMeqy daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc MENS nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY rPLsU iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM IEgzD OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD VWDdR ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV GPGwb oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX \">\n<div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage GpQCA lZur asrEW \" data-testid=\"prism-inline-image\">\n<figure class=\"kzIjN GNmeK pYrtp dSqFO \" data-testid=\"prism-figure\">\n<div class=\"GpQCA lZur Rnci \" data-testid=\"prism-ratio-frame\">\n<div class=\"FvQLF iLTd NqeUA UzzHi iWsMV \"><picture data-testid=\"prism-picture\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.abcnewsfe.com\/a\/fdf79f83-9130-495d-9552-5b7df4c1c2b7\/interview1-abc-ml-241203_1733230190918_hpMain_16x9.jpg?w=375, https:\/\/i.abcnewsfe.com\/a\/fdf79f83-9130-495d-9552-5b7df4c1c2b7\/interview1-abc-ml-241203_1733230190918_hpMain_16x9.jpg?w=750 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 414px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.abcnewsfe.com\/a\/fdf79f83-9130-495d-9552-5b7df4c1c2b7\/interview1-abc-ml-241203_1733230190918_hpMain_16x9.jpg?w=750, https:\/\/i.abcnewsfe.com\/a\/fdf79f83-9130-495d-9552-5b7df4c1c2b7\/interview1-abc-ml-241203_1733230190918_hpMain_16x9.jpg?w=1500 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 415px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hsDdd vBqtr KrDt itslR SjwtZ hakZw HlUVI  aligncenter\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/i.abcnewsfe.com\/a\/fdf79f83-9130-495d-9552-5b7df4c1c2b7\/interview1-abc-ml-241203_1733230190918_hpMain_16x9.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-testid=\"prism-image\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Screening for colorectal cancer typically begins at age 45,\u00a0according to\u00a0the CDC, However, there are other factors to consider when determining whether to begin screening earlier, such as certain medical conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\" dir=\"ltr\">Regardless of age, anyone with symptoms should talk to their health care provider.
