March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month

Sadly, many remain unaware. If you are 50 or older, have a family history of colon cancer, or are experiencing any unusual symptoms, speak with your doctor. Colorectal cancer is easily detectable with screening techniques that can catch the cancer when it is still treatable.

What's the Blue Star?

The blue star symbol represents the fight against colon cancer and has been adopted by nearly all of the major groups in the colorectal cancer community. The star represents the eternal memory of those people whose lives have already been lost to the disease and the shining hope for a future free of colon cancer.
