I received this email the other day. It was making the rounds among my friends. My friend for a lifetime, "E," has been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. It has hit like a thud. She is almost halfway throught her chemo process. Yesterday was wig sampler day! She picked some good ones. Anyway, here are some warning signs that I would have never known before a couple of months ago. It was exactly what she described before the diagnosis. During this Journey I have found a cool website called www.CaringBridge.org and also a free cleaning service called www.Cleaningforareason.com . Anyway, the email had a photo of a woman walking with the verbiage below...
THE EMAIL:
She is walking for Ovarian Cancer. Please pass her on so that she can reach her destination.
Say a prayer for all those who are affected by this terrible disease.
She's walking around the world --- via e-mail!!
Pass it on so she can reach every woman in the world!
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.
Please keep her going............................................................
Four chemo treatments and one surgery to go for my pal!
