September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. One in 78 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which is the deadliest of the gynecologic cancers.
Be aware of symptoms: bloating, frequent or urgent urination, feeling full quickly, and abdominal/pelvic pain. Gynecologic oncologists are the specialists who treat ovarian cancer.
Listen to your body and check out any new or unusual symptoms. Our local Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Oregon and Southwest Washington offers information and resources: www.ovariancancerosw.org.
