This is the post I make every year to celebrate and remember the lives of all of my Teal Sisters. Some I know personally, or have become close to via FB. Others I don't know but we are connected by a Teal Cord.
All of these girls and women are important and need to be remembered. As I type their names, they are so much MORE than names!! They are mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, friends, aunts, nieces, granddaughters --- they are LOVED and MISSED. They are students, teachers, executives, nurses, doctors, military, children and so much more.
My heart hurts with each name I type. My heart breaks for each family that is affected by the loss of the woman or child this name represents. The hole that is now in the family and lives of those left behind after Ovarian Cancer took their loved one.
Notice I didn't say they lost -- because cancer NEVER wins. LOVE, FAMILY and LIFE always wins.
What can you do to help carry on the legacy of these and all the other women and girls who have gone before them? Join me and many other Ovarian Cancer Thrivers and Supporters -- help us Educate, Advocate and Spread Awareness of this horrible cancer that has NO EARLY DETECTION TEST.
Learn the signs and symptoms - educate the women (no matter how young or if they no longer have their ovaries of these signs) :
Abdominal bloating or swelling.
Quickly feeling full when eating.
Weight loss.
Discomfort in the pelvic area.
Fatigue.
Back pain.
Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation.
A frequent need to urinate
And now to honor the beautiful women, young and old:
