: today is the first official World Ovarian Cancer Day.
Did you know that ovarian cancer has the lowest survival rate of gynecologic cancers? Almost a quarter million women are diagnosed each year and it is responsible for 140,000 deaths.
It is important to know the symptoms, which are often misdiagnosed. Do you know what they are? From the World Ovarian Cancer Day website:
- Increased abdominal size / persistent bloating (not bloating that comes and goes)
- Difficulty eating/feeling full quickly
- Abdominal or pelvic pain
- Needing to pass urine more urgently or more frequently
Early diagnosis greatly increases a woman’s chance of survival, however, women are usually diagnosed at a late stage as often the symptoms are attributed to menopause or digestive issues. This is all so familiar to me.

My Eyes Are Up Here 
Hey there myeyesareuphere, it appears my twitter, my wordpress blog and my email associated with those have all been compromised. I did not actively reblog an older post of yours that I see on my blog, and I received a message you commented on it. Less than 24 hours later I got an email message you made the same comment on the next post I reblogged, which mysteriously is not present on my blog this morning (the post or your comment–and that post I really did reblog, have no idea where it went). I’ve had 3 password reset messages from twitter in 5 days, and it seems linking twitter to wordpress (the whole reason I joined twitter) has caused many problems. I only comment here so you know and to suggest you be on the lookout, since it was two comments from you (which I suspect that you may not have made) that have alerted me to the problem. Hope you avoid any technical difficulties.
Oh dear, what a hassle that you don’t need. I will change my password to be on the safe side. Thanks for the heads up.
