Teal Toes

I apologize that my foot is not finely pedicured but it's Teal Toes time.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is called the silent killer because the signs and symptoms are easily confused as something else. Go to the doctor if these symptoms continue for more than two weeks:

• Bloating
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
• Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)

Risk factors includes:

• BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation (remember that I have a BRCA1 w/variant of uncertain significance)
  
• obesity
• hormone replacement
• aging

Great websites includes http://www.ovariancancer.org/ and http://www.ovarian.org/.

But I digress, I've painted my toes teals to help bring awareness. It's a fun way to bring it up when you're wearing it! A fellow ovarian cancer survivor shared Teal Toes with me. http://www.tealtoes.org/

Wear Teal and be proud! Raise awareness!
