A Month of Teal - Ovarian and Gyn Cancer Awareness Month

Hello September!

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness (#OCAM) month as well as Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month (#GCAM) . Today, September 1st is National Wear Teal* Day. I am sporting some teal toes. What are you wearing that is teal?  

Feel free to share the graphic below, which I created, with your friends on social media.

So Many Hashtags

Christina,co-moderator of #gyncsm chat, and I were discussing all the hashtags used during gynecologic cancer awareness month. Christina had compiled a pretty extensive list which I added 7 hashtags too.

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.
