A friend, fellow survivor and blogger Sandhy wrote on her blog about the OVACOME campaign- BEAT. OVACOME is a UK-wide support network providing information for those affected by ovarian cancer. Their site offers lots of info and support for healthcare providers, caregivers and survivors in the UK. (By the way - Ovarian cancer Awareness month in the UK is next month - March.).
Sandhy mentioned a friend's auction to raise funds for OVACOME and the BEAT campaign to help women recognize the signs of ovarian cancer. The info below is taken directly from her site.

E is for EATING - difficult eating, and feeling full more quickly
A is for ABDOMINAL - abdominal and pelvic pain felt most days
T is for TALK - to your doctor

This is definitely an easy acronym to remember - especially for those of us with chemo-brain when words sometimes escape us. Thanks to our TEAL sisters across the Atlantic for coming up with neat way of remembering symptoms.
