Ovarian Cancer Research Fund

OCRF

Sleeping the day away after my first chemo treatment, I dreamily remember a television ad I saw promoting a QVC sponsored event that raises money for the early detection of ovarian cancer. The symptoms are vague and easy to attribute to the natural process of aging. Symptoms like bloating, tiredness, backache, constipation can be common complaints for any woman, any day of her life. Perhaps if we all were more aware, 80% of us would not have to be initially diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. Perhaps we would have sought medical care earlier, during the first stages, where survival rates are remarkably higher. We NEED to spread the word.
