Anthony, Emery, + I did the 1 mile walk around the OU Health Sciences Center for Outpace Cancer in honor of my mom’s fight with Ovarian Cancer. Emery + I wore our teal in awareness of ovarian cancer. At the bottom of this post is an info-graphic with symptoms (early & advanced). Please make sure that you are listening to your body + that you are talking with your doctors. My mom’s biggest regret is not talking about the specific pain with her OB/GYN. She spent years trying to get answers through her internal medicine doc, but what she complained about weren’t red flags for cancer, unless you know.
*Bloating
*Pelvic or abdominal pain
*Needing to pee more frequently or urgently
*Feeling full quicker or having issues eating
Did you know that there is no screening to detect if someone has ovarian cancer? Every 23 minutes a woman receives the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. That is heartbreaking. Awareness is all I’m asking friends.
