Ovarian Cancer Awareness

I have some really fun pictures from the NKOTB concert this past weekend but thought the following pictures were WAY more important. These are photos from my mother's burial. I just received them over the weekend. In addition, I got a call from the Dallas/Ft.Worth chapter of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition this morning. The lady that I spoke with explained how the National Headquarters of the NOCC was recently moved to Dallas and how donations go to raise awareness about the disease and to help raise money for research. The research will eventually (and hopefully soon) be used to develop a testing method for ovarian cancer. She explained that deaths from breast cancer started declining drastically when it was determined that the mammogram test could be used to spot cancer early on. There is not currently a similar test for ovarian cancer. We also talked about the national recognition that breast cancer awareness month is receiving. (Which is absolutely AWESOME!) But how many of you knew that September was ovarian cancer awareness month? Wouldn't it be great for ovarian cancer awareness to get the same attention and recognition?
