March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month

Each year 130,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

I can fight back against colon cancer....
*I can get tested for colon cancer if I am 50 or older. I have the power to avoid colon cancer by getting tested.
*I can encourage a friend or family member to get tested for colon cancer.
*I can make a personal commitment to decrease my risk. Colon cancer risk factors are age, family history, an drace, but other factors - suck as smoking, obesity, and diet also impact my risk.
