Man or woman, I implore each and every one of you to learn the early warning signs and the tests available for the cancers that could affect you. Have you ever heard the saying “If you hear hooves galloping, don’t look for zebra, it’s probably a horse?” But if you happen to be a zebra, you’re royally screwed! Most doctors are bludgeoned by big business insurance companies to go the least expensive route of diagnostic testing, so the test you need may not even be on the menu, that is, until it’s too late. For example, when you go to the gynecologist and get a PAP smear, virtually nothing north of the cervix gets looked at. But what about your other female parts? If you are experiencing early warning whispers, such as irregular periods, changes in stool, abdominal swelling, loss in appetite, unexplainable weight loss or gain, or pain during intercourse, you should be requesting a CA 125 blood test and a transvaginal ultrasound. Ladies, check out www.CancerSchmancer.org to find out more about the warning symptoms of cancer and the tests that could save your life. Remember, knowledge and early detection equals survival.
