Ovarian Cancer Awareness

We are an emphatic proponant for ovarian cancer awareness as most women aren't aware that they have it until it is in later stages, when it is too late to add very many quality years to their lives through treatment.

We are not doctors but symptoms may include; Bloating, Trouble eating or feeling prematurly full, Pelvic or abdominal pain, Urgent or frequent urination also Fatigue, Upset stomach, Back pain, Painful sex, Constipation, Menstrual changes.

There are no routine tests which will detect it. A PAP smear cannot detect it.

If suspected, your doctor will order a CAT scan and/or CA125 blood test.

Prostate Cancer Can Be A Killer

Most of us men think of prostate cancer as being a minor cancer with a very high survival rate. But that isn't always so.  I know for a fact this can also be a very deadly cancer depending upon the stage it is diagnosed in. 

Prostate cancer cannot go into remission or be cured. It can only be slowed down. Radiation and hormone theapy can slow down its progression and most men with this cancer die from something else. Many do not.

I wish to remind all men out there to keep a close track of your PSA. Don't put it off. You may fall into one of the not too worry much group or if you have the more aggresive type, get it treated early. The difference could be added years to your life.

I know because it is taking me. At my age it isn't such a big thing because I've lived a long life. Long enough to leave this Earth at a respectable age. But I still have a little time left.
