I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

    http://www.bccancer.bc.ca/screening/colon/who-should-screen

    Where I’m located, screening is recommended for people 50 years old and above. Check the recommendations and process for your location (or ask your primary care doctor when you can).

    Also note that if you’re already having symptoms like the post mentions:

    Screening is only recommended for people who are not experiencing symptoms that may indicate colon cancer. Symptoms can include blood in your stool, abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss. If you are experiencing these symptoms, talk to your health care provider about a referral for diagnostic testing to determine the cause of these symptoms.
