OVARIAN CANCER - PLEASE READ

The link in this blog is to a 10 minute video which gives some good information about ovarian cancer. The first speaker is my mother, the second one is my sister. This video is from about 13 months ago when she was started he second bout with Ovarian Cancer. Tomorrow morning she goes in for her last chemo treatment, and then focuses on whatever preventive action she can take to extend her remission this time around for as long as possible. Like most Ovarian Cancer patients / survivors, she was diagnosed late stage. These late diagnoses means not enough people survive to tell their story, which means not enough people know about it, or about the symptoms, which are the scariest part of the whole thing. The symptoms are typical everyday symptoms for women, maybe a little more intense, or just lasting a lot longer, or with more frequency. I urge you all to please take the time to watch the video to educate yourselves a bit, and please make sure all the women in your lives watch it as well. Then, if I have convinced you, go talk to your doctor and get tested. Like any disease, the earlier it is caught the better the chances - but unlike many of them, this one really demands a lot more vigilance. So again, please watch this video, and if nothing else, please pass it on...
