TIE A TEAL RIBBON : SEPTEMBER IS OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Teal ribbons have been placed on posts and trees around Palos Heights to celebrate National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is often difficult to treat because there is no early detection test . Women are encouraged to become aware of symptoms which may include: abdominal pain or bloating,  trouble eating or feeling full quickly, and unusual fatigue. Symptoms which persist two weeks or longer should be evaluated by a physician.
