Listen to Your Body:
-
Pay close attention to changes that are new, worsening, or don’t go away after a few weeks.
-
-
Keep a Symptom Journal:
-
Record when symptoms started, how often they occur, and any patterns. This information helps your doctor make an accurate diagnosis.
-
-
Know What’s Normal for You:
-
Everyone’s “normal” baseline is different. Any persistent change in energy, weight, or digestion is worth noting.

-
Get Screened Regularly:

Don’t wait for symptoms. Routine screenings (like mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap tests) can detect cancer before it shows signs.
-
Serving and Storage Tips (Protecting Your Health Long-Term):
-
Stay Proactive: Schedule regular check-ups and screenings based on age and risk factors.
-
Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle: Eat nutrient-rich foods, exercise regularly, and avoid tobacco and excessive alcohol.
-
Know Your Family History: Share it with your doctor to assess your personal cancer risk.
-
Act Promptly: If something feels off, don’t delay—early testing can save lives.

Persistent bloating (especially in ovarian cancer)
