How               quickly               can               you               answer               the               following               questions:               What               is               the               slogan               for               ovarian               cancer               awareness?

What               is               the               color               of               the               ovarian               cancer               awareness               ribbon?

What               month               is               ovarian               cancer               awareness               month?

And               what               are               the               signs               and               symptoms               of               ovarian               cancer?

If               you're               stumped               by               these               questions,               don't               be               discouraged,               as               you're               certainly               not               alone.

Ovarian               cancer               is               one               of               the               most               deadly               cancers,               yet               many               people               lack               awareness               about               the               disease.

September               is               ovarian               cancer               awareness               month,               but               anytime               is               the               perfect               time               to               educate               yourself               about               the               signs               and               symptoms               of               ovarian               cancer               and               discover               how               you               can               get               involved               in               the               fight               for               a               cure.
               My               Story
               I               have               to               confess,               ovarian               cancer               awareness               was               not               even               on               my               radar               until               a               few               years               ago.

I               became               aware               of               the               cause               due               to               a               personal               experience               with               the               disease,               in               the               form               of               a               "cancer               scare."               In               the               summer               of               2004,               I               was               diagnosed               with               a               cyst               in               my               right               ovary.

The               ovarian               cyst               was               discovered               when               I               had               an               ultrasound               for               another               minor               problem;               I               did               not               have,               nor               have               I               ever               had,               any               pain               or               other               symptoms               from               the               cyst.
               The               appearance               of               the               cyst               (and               the               fact               that               it               was               inside               my               ovary)               led               my               gynecologist               to               order               tests               for               further               evaluation,               to               rule               out               the               possibility               of               ovarian               cancer.

That               began               my               personal               odyssey               of               "watch               and               wait,"               a               nerve               wracking               process               that               occurs               when               doctors               can't               quite               determine               exactly               what               is               going               on               with               the               cyst,               so               they               monitor               or               track               it               over               time               to               look               for               changes               that               might               signal               ovarian               cancer.
               I               entered               a               medical               gray               area               of               "do               I               or               don't               I?"               as               I               wondered               if               I               might               be               in               the               very               early               stages               of               ovarian               cancer.

This               "watch               and               wait"               period               meant               countless               transvaginal               ultrasounds,               pelvic               exams               to               check               for               signs               of               a               mass,               periodic               CA               125               tests,               and               in               my               case,               an               MRI               of               my               pelvic               region,               to               keep               an               eye               on               what               might               eventually               turn               out               to               be               a               cancerous               (or               precancerous)               tumor               in               my               ovary.
               During               this               time,               I               went               from               being               completely               uninformed               about               ovarian               cancer               to               feeling               more               educated               about               the               whole               landscape               of               the               disease.

(In               this               period               of               self               education,               I               discovered               that               the               slogan               for               ovarian               cancer               awareness               is:               "Ovarian               cancer               whispers,               so               listen,"               and               the               color               of               the               ovarian               cancer               awareness               ribbon               is               teal!)
               My               doctor               seemed               quite               unconcerned               about               my               prognosis.

So               I               obtained               copies               of               the               results               of               my               ultrasounds,               went               to               the               library               and               consulted               medical               books               for               information               about               ovarian               cysts.

I               also               scoured               the               internet,               looking               for               clues               that               might               shed               some               light               on               my               situation.

I               found               this               quite               scary               and               confusing.

A               cold               nameless               dread               would               spread               deep               through               me               when               I               realized               that               the               way               my               cyst               was               described               on               one               of               the               ultrasound               reports,               sounded               very               much               like               the               kind               which               might               be               cancerous.

My               head               swam               with               worry               as               I               tried               to               gain               some               understanding               about               my               cyst.
               Meanwhile,               back               at               the               doctor's               office,               my               gynecologist               didn't               seem               to               be               following               my               case.

I               became               convinced               she               wasn't               even               reading               my               test               results!

(This               was               confirmed               during               a               visit               when               she               seemed               to               be               confused               about               why               I               was               there               to               see               her?

She               then               quickly               scanned               my               file               and               mumbled               something               about               my               left               ovary?

My               dread               escalated               to               a               sense               of               helplessness               and               alarm.)
               It               was               very               disheartening               to               go               online               during               this               time,               and               see               the               number               of               confused,               terrified               women               in               chat               rooms               and               posting               on               various               message               boards,               desperately               searching               for               answers               and               reassurance               about               their               own               ovarian               cysts.
               Some               were               also               in               a               period               of               "watch               and               wait;"               some               were               diagnosed               with               ovarian               cancer,               but               unsure               how               to               proceed               with               treatment;               and               most               disturbing               of               all,               some               were               experiencing               symptoms               or               had               reason               to               believe               they               might               actually               have               ovarian               cancer,               but               they               were               not               receiving               the               proper               evaluation               and               treatment               by               their               physicians.
               My               experiences               led               me               to               become               extremely               proactive               about               my               own               care.

I               decided               to               change               gynecologists.

My               doctor               was               part               of               a               practice               that               had               a               legendary               reputation               in               my               area               for               being               "the               best               in               town,"               yet               she               was               rude               to               me,               disinterested               in               my               feelings               and               well               being,               and               rough               with               my               body               during               exams.
               She               never               called               me               about               my               test               results;               once               when               I               tried               to               follow               up,               the               nurse               said               the               policy               was               that               "no               news               is               good               news,"               when               in               fact,               they               had               never               even               received               a               copy               of               my               test               from               the               hospital!

Even               though               time               is               of               the               essence               in               keeping               track               of               cancerous               changes               in               ovarian               cysts,               I               sometimes               couldn't               get               an               appointment               for               months               at               my               very               exclusive               doctor's               office.
               I               decided               to               listen               to               my               gut,               and               look               for               a               new               doctor.

I               went               to               my               local               hospital's               website,               and               reviewed               their               list               of               affiliated               gynecologists.

I               chose               one               (a               new               doctor               in               town)               and               reviewed               her               website.

I               liked               what               I               saw,               and               called               for               an               appointment.

This               gynecologist               was               also               a               hot               property               in               town,               yet               she               listened               to               my               concerns               and               had               a               few               moments               to               consult               with               me.
               By               finding               a               doctor               I               could               trust,               the               pieces               began               to               fall               into               place               for               me.

My               new               gynecologist               was               part               of               a               holistic               practice               that               believes               in               treating               and               honoring               the               whole               person.

For               the               first               time,               I               felt               listened               to               and               "in               good               hands,"               so               to               speak               (previously,               I               felt               attacked               by               my               doctor               when               I               asked               questions               about               my               care.)
               This               physician               reviewed               all               of               my               previous               ultrasounds,               and               based               on               the               results               of               my               MRI               and               CA               125               tests               (and               the               fact               that               the               cyst               was               not               getting               larger               and               wasn't               causing               any               problems),               in               her               opinion,               she               didn't               believe               that               it               looked               like               a               type               likely               to               become               cancerous.
               After               a               while,               I               stopped               having               the               transvaginal               sonograms,               and               now               I               just               get               periodic               pelvic               exams               (to               look               for               signs               of               any               growths               or               abnormalities)               and               I               am               given               the               CA               125               test,               a               tumor               marker               that               looks               at               levels               of               proteins               produced               by               cancerous               ovarian               cells.
               I               have               developed               a               relationship               with               a               doctor               who               is               respectful,               kind,               professional               and               very               knowledgeable               about               ovarian               cancer.

I               feel               grateful               to               have               come               through               my               ordeal               with               flying               colors;               however,               I               don't               ever               let               down               my               guard               against               ovarian               cancer.

I               believe               every               woman               should               remain               vigilant               about               this               disease,               its               signs               and               symptoms,               and               become               proactive               about               medical               care.

Here's               some               more               information               about               the               disease               and               how               you               can               become               proactive               about               ovarian               cancer.
               "The               Silent               Killer"
               Many               women               throw               up               their               hands               and               say               to               themselves               "there               is               nothing               I               can               do               to               help               myself;               ovarian               cancer               is               the               "silent               killer,"               a               symptomless               disease               with               no               screening               test               available."               There               is               a               lot               of               mystery               and               misconception               about               the               disease.

For               example,               many               women               think               that               their               Pap               smear               will               test               for               ovarian               cancer.

This               is               untrue;               the               Pap               test               just               screens               for               cancerous               changes               in               cervical               cells               (it               is               the               visual               and               manual               pelvic               exam               performed               by               your               doctor               that               helps               detect               growths               or               masses               that               signal               ovarian               cancer.)
