Did you receive a letter from "Screen for life" Cancer care Ontario?.

Says after age 50 your risk of getting the disease grows etc... The FOBT is a safe and painless screening test that checks your stool for tiny drops of blood. If Colon Cancer is caught early, 9 out of 10 people with the disease can be cured.

I got it 2 months ago and cannot get my ass to get on it.

Maybe it's time to do it but is there other ways to know you may have it?.
 
I had it done. An easy procedure but you do need to take the day off.

Are we thinking of the same test? I do it every year, thanks to my doctor. I don't have to take a minute off work or anything else. You put a sample on a card for three days running, then drop it in the mail. They send me and my doctor the results a few days later.

What he said.
 
It saved a friend of mine's life. I highly recommend you take the time to send your sample.
