Mom asked me to post this little bit of activism re: women' health.

She has been clean of ovarian cancer for 12 years and counting, and I promised that her little shiny headed cyber activist would post this on the usual boards. She is very active in support groups, and is especially concered with younger woman. By the way, she is 81.

Rep. Sander Levin (kin to my senator, Carl Levin) introduced this bill. Even my R rep (Knollenberg) is listed as a co-sponsor.

2. Thanks for the info.

I had a SCARE. Turned out to be nothing. I hadn't had the tests mentioned on the site in years (some of them never). Guess what - I have them regularly now.

On edit:
You should be proud of your mom for so many reasons.

3. Have you tried putting this in GD?

It might get thrown back here, but there are plenty of women who would probably appreciate the information. Just a thought...
