Ovarian Cancer

Shedding light on symptoms of a silent killer :

"Symptoms include abdominal or back pain, abdominal bloating, loss of appetite or feeling full, changes in toilet habits, unexplained weight change, fatigue and indigestion or heartburn."

A lot of women don't realise a pap smear is only for cervical cancer and the pap smears have certainly helped stop women dying of cervical cancer. Now we need to become more alert about ovarian cancer because we are not so good at tracking and noticing the symptoms. Perhaps we need more and better help. In the end it is up to us to ask and not to be frightened to ask...better to find out there is no problem than to find out there has been one and we didn't ask.
