March is National Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and March 6 is Dress in Blue Day. Join the statewide campaign to raise awareness about the importance of colon cancer screenings, wear blue, and encourage those around you to get screened!

Here are 5 steps you can take to fight colon cancer in March:

1.      Raise awareness! Wear blue on March 6 and tell people why. Share information about prevention from ColonCancerPreventionProject.org. Hang awareness signs in your office’s bathrooms stalls. And end the day at the Bottoms Up Bash at the Mellwood Arts Center.

2.      Talk with your family about any family history of polyps or colon cancer.

3.      Talk with your doctor about the right time for you to be screened, and the test that’s right for you. Colon cancer can be prevented with screenings. All Kentuckians age 50 and older should get regular colon cancer checks. People with a personal or family history of colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or who are experiencing symptoms are considered “high risk” should talk with their doctors about having earlier or more frequent tests.  

4.      If it’s time for you to get screened – schedule the screening! Make March the month you check it off your list.

5.      Volunteer for the cause. Contact the Colon Cancer Prevention Project at (502) 290-0288 or info@c2p2ky.org to learn about volunteer opportunities in our area.
