Day 26 A Month of Teal : Twitter Images for Advocacy

I use twitter to raise awareness of ovarian cancer both as an individual and as the co-moderator of the #gyncsm ( gyn cancer social media) chat.  Over the past few weeks I have compiled a few Tweets which shared informative images. Thank you OCRFA, SGO, NOCC, Foundation for Women's Cancer and the Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation for these images.

Wear Teal Day !

-->Today is Wear Teal Day.

When I was first diagnosed in 2005, I didn’t know that the color teal was the awareness color of  ovarian cancer. My wardrobe has changed a lot since then.

In addition to the nine t-shirts I got by walking in various ovarian cancer awareness fundraisers, I own

Three pair of  TEAL earrings

One  TEAL ribbon OWL locket necklace

One TEAL stone ring

Seven TEAL pins

Eight TEAL jelly bracelets

Seven TEAL awareness bracelets

Nine TEAL shirts

Three TEAL shawls

Two teal pocketbooks

And let’s not forget my Teal Toes. 

I’m proud wear Teal today and happy to share what I know about ovarian cancer with others.

Today Begins Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month

This month, Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month and Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, I am taking the #GynCan Challenge sponsored by the Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Network .  In addition to information on ovarian cancer and my thoughts about being an ovarian cancer survivor I will also share some information about the other “Below the Belt” women’s cancers - cervical, uterine(endometrial),vulvar, vaginal, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal.

Every woman is at risk for ovarian cancer! 

 Let's start with this informational video by the Foundation for Women's Cancer. 

 

I invite you to check by each day to learn some important facts about gynecologic cancers.
