Colon Cancer Screening (FIT) - A simple, at-home stool (p**p) test that checks for hidden blood, which may be a sign of colon cancer. It's easy, non-invasive, and recommended every 2 years for eligible people.

Colonoscopy - A procedure where a doctor examines the colon using a camera to look for cancer. It's usually done if the FIT is abnormal or if there are other risk factors.

If you're due for your colon cancer screening, call (807) 684-7777 to book your appointment on the Coach.

Screening is the key to catching cancer early, when it's most treatable.

If you're between the ages of 50 and 74, have no family history of colon cancer, and have NOT been screened for colon cancer in the last 2 years, speak with your healthcare provider, nursing station, or book an appointment on the Coach to get your FIT kit.

People at average risk with no family history should get checked for colon cancer with an at-home test called the f***l immunochemical test (FIT) every 2 years starting at age 50. The FIT checks your stool (p**p) for tiny amounts of blood, which could be caused by colon cancer or some types of polyps.

The FIT is painless, can be done at home, and only takes a few minutes.

To get your FIT, you can:
- talk to your healthcare provider
- contact Health 811 online or by phone if you do not have a healthcare provider
- visit the Screen for Life Coach
- talk to your health centre or nursing station if you live in a First Nation community
