March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Did you know colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States—but it doesn’t have to be. Statistics show that barely half of New Yorkers over 50 have had a colonoscopy.

A colonoscopy doesn’t just detect cancer, it prevents it.

News10NBC wants to make sure you know how to keep yourself healthy. We have teamed up with the Wilmot Cancer Center to host a phone bank where you can call in and ask Wilmot doctors questions about colorectal cancer, screenings and prevention. The event will be on Wednesday, March 6 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

If you have questions for the Wilmot doctors, e-mail us at news10@whec.com and we will ask them for you or call the doctors directly at 585-275-8762.

I-Team 10: How much does it cost you to go to the doctor?

Submitted by WHEC_Web_Staff

It's becoming one of the most frustrating things to deal with when you go to the doctor -- trying to figure out how much it's going to cost. More and more people are on high-deductible health care plans where they're on the hook for the first five to 10 thousand dollars every year. And they're told by their employers and insurance companies to be smart, educated health care consumers.

But how can you be a consumer when you have no idea what anything costs and no one will tell you?

The I-Team is finding out why it is so hard.

Dianne Kober flipped through her bills like baseball cards.

"Here's a bill for lab charges from Rochester General."

"Here's the University of Rochester bill."

"Here's the Highland Hospital bill for actually being at Highland Hospital."
