Other symptoms of colon cancer include: a persistent change in bowl habits, weight loss and abdominal cramps.

This is the test that will be offered at the Planned Parenthood screening sites. If you are over 40 years old or have any symptoms and haven't had a yearly colorectal screening, you can go to any of the five clinic screening sites. The sites are located at: 1016 E.
