Wichita, KS. - Did you know that colon cancer is the third most common cancer in the US? But there's good news: colon cancer is preventable, treatable, and beatable.
A simple test, called an FOBT, can help detect colon cancer. It's painless and non-invasive, and can be done in the privacy of your own home. During the month of March, pick up your free FOBT kit while supplies last at Colvin Neighborhood City Hall or one of these Walgreens pharmacies: Central and Hillside, 13th and Waco, Central and West, Harry and Broadway, Harry and Edgemoor.
This free screening is made possible by the following organizations: the American Cancer Society, Via Christi Cancer Center, Walgreens, AMS Labs, Colvin Neighborhood City Hall, Project Access, KU School of Medicine, Wichita Surgical Specialists, Dr. Stephanie Oberhelman of Surgical Specialists, and Via Christi Volunteers/Partners in Caring.
For more information about the free screening, visit cancer.org/bottomsup or call 800-227-2345.
