#38 Colonoscopy Test Alternative - A Less Invasive Approach is Here!
If you're like me, over age 50, you may have had a colonoscopy or been instructed to by your physician. Screening for colorectal cancer is very important, it's not the only option for early detection.
There is a less invasive, highly affective test you can take to see if you need a colonoscopy. Instead of undergoing an expensive and invasive procedure, not try annual screening with a FIT test. Fit stands for Fecal Immunochemical Test.
Colorectal Cancer is on the rise and more than 50,000 people die from it each year. It's the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. Colorectal cancer has a 91% survival rate if caught in Stage I, but only 11% survival rate if caught in Stage IV. Avoid your risk of colorectal cancer by having regular screening such as the FIT test.
Remember to include yourself in the care you give by asking questions and doing research about what matters to you! Always Caring, Sam
