September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month

Okay ladies, if you’ve been putting off those annual wellness visits to your Gynecologist, please take a few minutes to check this out. Cancer awareness and early detection really do save lives and women of all ages are affected by gynecologic cancer.

According to the Center for Disease Control, “all women are at risk for gynecologic cancers, and risk increases with age. When gynecologic cancers are found early, treatment is most effective.” 

Check out the link below for a great brochure from the CDC. It really is a “must read”.
