“Currently there is no test available to detect or screen for ovarian cancer in its early stages, leading to late diagnosis in 75 percent of all cases. Ovations for the Cure (www.ovationsforthecure.org) offers a message of hope and directly supports ovarian cancer research,” explains Patty Franchi Flaherty, Ovations’ Founder and eight-year ovarian cancer survivor. “If each individual wears teal on September 7th, they will join in a growing wave of awareness about the disease and take the first steps to finding a cure.”
Symptoms of the disease include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, frequent or urgent urination. Experts say women should see their doctor if they suddenly experience any of these symptoms daily for at least two or three weeks.
Ovations recently introduced “The Hope Collection” as another way to wear teal. The collection includes cell phone charms, earrings and bracelets with teal and butterfly accents, pearls and Swarovski crystals to support research and spread the message of hope – to purchase these items, please visit www.ovationsforthecure.org. One hundred percent of all proceeds go directly to research and awareness of ovarian cancer.
