Pledge to Get Screened for Colon Cancer

Screening saves lives. Screening is the No. 1 way to prevent colorectal cancer because it can help detect cancer early, when it’s still highly treatable.

Sign this pledge to commit to speak with your healthcare provider about your screening options.

My health is important to me, so I am pledging to get screened for colon cancer.

By signing this pledge, I agree to receive important information from the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, like helpful information on screening decisions. After signing, we’ll send you an email with a link to a short quiz to find out which options might be right for you based on your personal risk factors. You can also take the quiz right after signing the pledge!

La Donya’s Screening Story

Right after La Donya's birthday, she got a letter saying she should start getting screened for colorectal cancer at age 45. She chose a FIT test, an at-home test that checks for blood in stool. It came back positive, requiring a follow-up colonoscopy. Because of on-time screening, La Donya was diagnosed with stage I colon cancer - the most treatable stage.

"My story is the best-case scenario," La Donya said. Screening and early detection is key to surviving a potential diagnosis. Find your options by taking our screening quiz.

Inspire others to take control of their health, like Angela did.

Margo’s Screening Story

Without symptoms or a family history of cancer, Margo assumed her colorectal cancer screening would be a worthy excuse to take off from work and then grab lunch. But a mass developing undetected in Margo's colon had other plans for the day, and she was later diagnosed with stage I colon cancer.

"I was lucky it was caught early - had I waited, who knows?" Margo said. Learn more about screening by visiting getscreened.org.
