Dear Viewers,
 Peace to all in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is the Year of the Eucharist. Psalm 23:4 states "Even though I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are at my side, your rod and staff give me courage." |

September is the National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) Philadelphia announces September, 2005 'Community Cares Campaign' and 'Day of Healing Walk' on September 11,2005.
Ovarian cancer begins with changes in all the cells of the ovaries. The symptoms are very persistent. The symptoms include unexplained changes in bladder and bowel habits, unexplained changes in weight loss/gain, gastrointestinal changes of gas, nausea, bloating, belching, changes in dress and pant sizes, and fatigue. Please see your Health Care Provider immediately, especially is they persist over 4-6 weeks. Treatment is surgery and chemotherapy.(NOCC) Some interventions one can do: remember you are an unique person, surround yourself with friends and prayers, develop a prayer life, eat very healthy foods, avoid fatigue by getting your rest and sleep 8 hours at night, enjoy life and family, plan your Advance Directives, attend worship of your choice, determine you are going to fight this, see your Health Care Provider regulary.(NOCC) 3 John 2 states, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."
