I left out one of the best tools for screening your own colon cancer. Look at your bowel movement.
Has it changed in size, color, consistency/shape? Watch for blood, dark or true red. Very important. I am not talking about in one day, but over a week or more, talk to your HCP (Health Care Provider)
Also remind your HCP to check do a rectal exam (where they test the stool during the exam) or a home screening stool test once per year. These things are really important. Sometimes reminders can save your life.
These are some of the things, together with screening colonoscopies, etc as outlined in Part 1 and 2.
