I didn't know her but...
this is so sad. And even though I didn't know her or of her, THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. I want more women to be aware of this cancer and what it can do to us. Why can't we do something to make women aware?
I am so sick of just hearing of people dying from it. I had no idea of what was happening to me. I admit I am STILL a bit traumatized because of it.
RIP = God has one more Angel.

Eldri, Thank you for letting us know. May she rest in her heavenly home with our Lord. All of us wish there was more awareness of gynecological cancers. I wish the gynecologists themselves would make women more aware of the signs and symptoms. There can be such a tie to breast and colon cancers as we know. We can make our own friends and family aware of gynecological cancer but that isn’ t a big enough circle influence. We need a celebrity that is very wealthy to take up the cause. Kathy Bates is a survivor and has brought media attention. Still starting with primary care there needs to be more awareness. Honestly, most primary care doctors and OB/GYN physicians immediately think cancer when a woman who has gone through menopause starts spotting blood. Unfortunately too many of us are peri-menopausal and think we are just spotting because we are going into menopause. And then many of us are younger than those of us thinking we are just spotting due to menopause approaching. Gynecologic cancer sneaks up on us in the prime of our lives.

Well said! I am sorry to ear of another person losing their battle. I also agree more awareness needs to be made of our type. So many know of breast cancer and what to look for, but as you said, when a woman is peri-menopausal, they attribue the spotting to menopause. The same thing happened to me. I spotted/bled for a year and a half before an ultrasound and then a biospy finally found it. Thankfully it was in time. It is sad that so many do understand and can relate to what you said, but we do need ladies to be more aware of what to watch for. Thank you for your response to this too.
