Ovarian Cancer Awareness

Recently a dear friend was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.  I feel it is imperative that you read this information to raise your awareness.

Take good care of you!

Ovarian Cancer Whispers – so listen carefully .. .

Watch for Pelvic or abdominal pain or discomfort, as well as these symptoms:

-Vague but persistent gastrointestinal upsets such as gas, nausea, and indigestion
-Frequency and/or urgency of urination in the absence of an infection
-Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
-Pelvic and/or abdominal swelling, bloating and/or feeling of fullness
-Ongoing unusual fatigue
-Unexplained changes in bowel habits.

If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, ask your doctor for a combination pelvic/rectal exam,CA-125 blood test, and trans-vaginal ultrasound. A pap test WILL NOT detect ovarian cancer.

Say a prayer for all those who are affected by this terrible disease.
