March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Early detection saves lives, and screening can be quick, easy, and free.

NHO Pharmacy is offering FREE f***l immunochemical test (FIT) kits from the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department for individuals age 45 and older. These simple at-home tests take about 5 minutes to complete and can help detect signs of colon cancer early.

Not yet 45? That’s okay. If you’re at higher risk, the Health Department still encourages you to request a kit.

✔ Calculate your colon cancer risk: https://ccrisktool.cancer.gov/calculator.html

✔ Pick up a kit at NHO Pharmacy or request one online: https://us.openforms.com/Form/fe72d0f2-7bf2-4ad6-8417-9319f9900654

You can even request a kit for a friend or family member. You’ll just need their name, date of birth, primary care physician information, address, and phone number.

There is no cost for these kits, and the process is simple. Watch how to complete it here: https://youtu.be/U2GT0KiIJEE

Taking a few minutes today could make a life-saving difference. 💙

Heads up on prostate cancer news you may be seeing soon. A "new" study suggests prostate cancer screening with PSA might be helpful.

Well, this isn't really "new". There is a LOT of data out about PSA screening. But in medicine, screening tests have to meet multiple targets to be considered useful for population health.

So what can you do? Talk to your provider about prostate cancer screening. If you are having more symptoms of slower stream, not emptying, pain, etc; then talk to your provider. You do NOT have to have a family history of cancer to get cancer.

Amazing!

A cancer diagnosis is easily one of the toughest things to hear about from a medical professional. However, what do you do if you’re an adult with children who need to know about your diagnosis?
