The Colon Club - colon/rectal cancer education and support

Welcome to The Colon Club! - Colon Cancer (Colorectal Cancer) Education and Support

The Colon Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of colorectal cancer in out-of-the-box ways.  Our goals are to educate as many people as possible, as early as possible, about the risk factors and symptoms of colorectal cancer, and for people to get screened when it's appropriate for them.

Please check out our crazy projects, and visit our message board to read about other survivors, ask questions, share and connect.

SYMPTOMS OF COLORECTAL CANCER

  • The most common symptom is no symptom at all
  • Change in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, narrow stools)
  • Unexplained weight loss, vomiting, lack of energy, unexplained anemia
  • Blood (often not visible) in the stool (poop) or from rectum (bum)
  • Abdominal pain/discomfort (gas, bloating, cramps, feeling that the bowel doesn't empty completely)
If you have any of these symptoms
for more than a few weeks,
see a doctor and get a colonoscopy!
