Ovarian Cancer Walk

 
Ovarian Cancer Whispers - so listen carefully . . .

Watch for Pelvic or abdominal pain or discomfort;

·
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.
She must reach every woman with this message about Ovarian Cancer.
Say a prayer for all those who are affected by this terrible disease.
