Ovarian Cancer - New Evidence
Unfortunately, one of the most lethal of all female cancers, ovarian cancer is now the 5th leading cause of cancer death for women, afflicting 1 out of 58 women in the United States.

Ovarian Cancer - 7 Early Warning Signs
Ovarian cancer is often called "The Silent Killer" because the symptoms are so nonspecific and are often blamed on something else. Thus it is possible to have been experiencing early warning signs of this disease for years and not realize anything is seriously wrong. This is very understandable, as the symptoms, if they are seen at all, most often seem benign at first. However, if you have had one or more of these symptoms for several weeks or months, please consider calling your physician and scheduling a check-up. Cancer is a scary word and most people would prefer to just assume everything is fine and hope whatever is bothering them simply "goes away." However, consider that ovarian cancer statistics show that 70% to 80% of diagnoses are made in late stages when the prognosis is not so good.

Cervical Cancer and Infertility
Cervical cancer does not necessarily mean that you will become infertile but the odds are extremely high. This is not an easy concept to come to terms with, even for women who have gone through menopause or who have made up their minds to never have children. The enforced, involuntary removal of the womb is a very final act beyond which there is no going back. The ability to decide for oneself is taken away. It may even feel as though one’s womanhood is being stolen, especially if one’s identity is bound more in one’s physicality than one’s spiritual and psychological being. Many women find that if they allow themselves to grieve, as for the death of a loved one, it helps them to make sense of the loss and to integrate the experience into their sense of self.

Alternative Therapies and Cancer
Many people who suffer from cancer choose to go an alternate route rather than the conventional one and choose therapies that might not be considered within the boundaries of Western medicine. Others choose to integrate conventional medicine and alternative medicine in an effort to try and get the best of both worlds. They do this for a number of reasons. The most common reason being that conventional therapy simply does not work for them and they are in a situation where they are willing to try anything to live. Others are simply more unconventional by nature and may not believe in Western medicine or have more faith in alternative medicine in the first place. Whatever the reasoning behind their decision, everyone has the right to choose their own form of therapy and to have that decision respected.
