Breast and Ovarian Cancers

Hi Efurryone. Raja here.We all know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we proudly wear the pink ribbron to show our support. But breast cancer is not the only type of cance claiming lives. Did you know that September was Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month? We didn't.  There symbol is a teal ribbon.
 Ovarian cancer is a deadly malignancyr that  claims the lives of 15,000 women a year. The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition runs extensive public and professional educational campaigns.. The diseaser is known as a silent killer asf its subtle symptoms often preclude early diagnosis...Often the cancer isn't diagnosed until it's metasticized throughout the abdominal cavity, resulting in  a grim prognosis., But, if the disease is found in its early stages, while the cancer is still confined to the ovary, the five year survival rate is 90%.
Lets help the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition get the word out, and. do a mitzvah (a good deed). For less than the cost of a Big Mac and fries, you can purchase a teal car magnet, jelly bracelet (wristband) or keychain. Just go to http://www.ovarian.org/ and click on marketpalce. You'll find that teal goes very well with pink.
