Pharmacies participating in colon cancer screening

J-P Dice is checking in again with us on his cancer journey. A few months ago, he shared with FOX6 viewers that he was fighting colorectal cancer and was on track to being healthy.

Now, J-P wants to share some important information about how you can act to keep your health strong.

Colon cancer is the second most common, fatal cancer in Alabama. The key to treatment and survival is early detection and Alabamians can get tested for free.

The FITWAY Colorectal Cancer Prevention Program is working with the Alabama Pharmacy Association and Birmingham Gastroenterology Associates to offer free, take-home screening tests in five Birmingham-area pharmacies.
