As an advocate for Ovarian Cancer, I wish more people knew about it. Not ONLY for awareness but to know the signs/risks/anatomy to validate advocating for yourself AND because knowledge is powerful. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Here are some Ovarian Cancer fast facts:
✏️ There are many different types, some originating from the o***y and some from the fallopian tubes (called Serous Ovarian Cancer) which is a more deadly type.
✏️ Ovarian cancer metastasizes differently from other cancers - it doesn't usually move through the blood or lymph, but within the abdomen.
✏️ There usually aren't symptoms at early stages, so it is usually diagnosed at later stages.
✏️ There are NO screenings for Ovarian Cancer... NONE, a yearly pelvic exam or pap smear do not check for it. And progress on screening's hasn't produced promising results.
The bottom line for knowing this info: if you have a family history, symptoms or want to know more about Ovarian Cancer, please make sure to talk to YOUR healthcare team. Symptoms/risks for Ovarian Cancer can vary greatly and it's your right to advocate for your care.
Knowing more=Knowing how to advocate=Empowerment.
Share this information to empower other o***y owners in your life.

Sadly, the symptoms of early ovarian cancer are pretty mild and can be mistaken for more common issues. Most of the time these symptoms don't show up until the cancer is advanced. If you start to notice any of these symptoms for more than 2 weeks & they are new for your body, you should talk to your doctor immediately:

🎃 Bloating
🎃 Pelvic/abdominal pain or pressure
🎃 Difficultly eating or you feel full quickly
🎃 Urgent or frequent urination
🎃 Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation or diarrhea
🎃 Unusual fatigue
🎃 Back pain
🎃 Changes in menstrual cycles or unusual vaginal bleeding

Detection is very difficult because regular pelvic and pap exams do not check for ovarian cancer. So it's very important that you have your regular gynecological exams every year & talk with your doctor about any of the above symptoms you're having.

If your doctor suspects that you may have an issue, they will perform tests like an ultrasound & blood tests. If you're at high risk due to genetic factors, doctors may use these tests regularly to monitor your health.

If your doctor ignores your concerns or brushes off, it's time to get a new doctor!!!

BE PERSISTENT! ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF! YOU KNOW YOUR BODY BEST!

🎃🩵 A LITTLE HALLOWEEN MAGIC, A LOT OF TEAL AWARENESS! 🩵🎃

Behind the bats, witches, and spooky nights, there’s a message that is too important to ignore.

Ovarian cancer awareness matters every day, and sometimes the smallest signs can tell a much bigger story. Common signs and symptoms may include:

👻 Bloating or increased abdominal swelling
👻 Pelvic or abdominal pain or pressure
👻 Feeling full quickly or difficulty eating
👻 Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation or diarrhea
👻 Changes in bladder habits, such as needing to urinate more often or urgently
👻 Unusual fatigue
👻 Back pain
👻 Changes in menstrual cycles or unusual vaginal bleeding

These symptoms can have many causes, but if they are new, persistent, or unusual for you, talk with a healthcare professional.

🩵 Listen to your body.
🩵 Speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
🩵 Share this post — your share could help someone recognize the signs and seek answers.

Let’s make teal part of the Halloween conversation! 🎃🩵

Know the signs. Share the story. Save a life.
