Dr. Oz

0 Recommendations

Dr.Oz did a 15 min segment on signs and symptoms of some cancers including Ovarian Cancer. Not as informative as it could have been but at least one symptom was addressed - bloating. Hopefully, the women watching it got something out of it. Also, had a woman on that told of her sister becoming bloated but just thought she was gaining weight. By the time she was diagnosed, it had spread and she lost her life to ovarian cancer.

I am the women that shared my sister Marueen's story. I want to get the word out to all women and I hope that was a good start. My sisters fight just as all women should not go unnoticed and we have to keep up the fight. I miss my sister everyday. But I honor her by raising money to fight this monster they call cancer.

God bless you for what you did for your sister and for all of us women that are suffering from this deadly disease. We have been trying to get the message out and even emailed Dr. Oz to address Ovarian Cancer. I was so happy with the little segment he did as every bit helps. I am so sorry you lost your sister and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for telling your story on TV. If just one life is saved as a result, it will be worth it.

I well not give up on getting the word to every person who will listen and even the ones that do not listen..lol I miss my sister every day and I have to make sure her name and story will go on. Thank u and God Bless You.
