Taking proactive measures: Colorectal cancer is usually slow-growing in the early stages — that means if your test detects symptoms (like hidden blood in your stool), you can get ahead of the potential cancer while it’s still curable.
Looking for at-home options:We don’t want to poop anywhere but our own house, either. For those at average risk and not currently experiencing symptoms, this at-home test is an incredibly convenient first step (no prep work needed). See exactly how it works.
It may run in your family: Some individuals are at higher risk due to personal or family history of colorectal cancer or polyps. If you already know you’re at higher risk, talk to your healthcare provider.

There are some can’t-miss food items available this weekend only. Here’s where to find them.
Piedmont Grill
Gamecock fans: The Cocky Chicken Sandwich was our favorite bite with a must-try candied bacon. We also loved the LSU Boudin Balls + the carne asada-loaded waffle fries.
Carolina Smoke Barbecue
Next, we got a taste of barbecue that can go toe-to-toe with your favorite Greenville joint. Our pick? The loaded mac with 12-hour smoked burnt ends.
Reedy River Roost
Feast on chicken and waffles, bird dogs, and specialty totchos. We loved the Longhorn Texas ones available this weekend only.
Swamp Dogs
This cart on the concourse serves wild-topped hot dogs that change depending on the event. We got a foot-long Razorback dog which had pulled pork, slaw, jalapeños, bacon, and a Dr. Pepper sauce.
The right pet insurance to offset rising veterinary costs. Clinics are increasingly focused on revenue — and some vets are encouraged to squeeze in more appointments, recommend extra tests, and upsell services. The result? Higher vet bills for you. View Money’s top pet insurance picks to see plans starting at only $10 per month.
It’s a sporty weekend in Greenville. In addition to the basketball tournament, the Greenville Triumph opens its season tomorrow.
