Did you know?

The Pap test does not check for ovarian cancer. The only cancer the Pap test screens for is cervical cancer. Since there is no simple and reliable way to screen for any gynecologic cancer except for cervical cancer, it is especially important to recognize warning signs, and learn what you can do to reduce your risk.

Here is what you can do—

Pay attention to your body, and know what is normal for you.
If you notice any changes in your body that are not normal for you and could be a sign of ovarian cancer, talk to your doctor about them.
Ask your doctor if you should have a diagnostic test, like a rectovaginal pelvic exam, a transvaginal ultrasound, or a CA-125 blood test if you have any unexplained signs or symptoms of ovarian cancer. These tests sometimes help find or rule out ovarian cancer.

Ladies, this is great advice from Chris Evert.

Gyne Health Awareness

Chris Evert, former world No. 1 tennis player and cancer survivor, gave this advice following her personal battle with stage 1C ovarian cancer. After losing her sister to the very same disease, Chris had somewhat of a blueprint for navigating an all too familiar experience.

Dr. Joel Cardenas shared, "the keys to an early diagnosis are keeping up to date with exams and office visits, knowing your family history and having a good relationship with your gynecologist."

FWC celebrates Chris Evert this for her heroic story of survival and advocacy.
