Womb Cancer.

I'm tired of hearing how I brought it on myself,
How I must have been irresponsible when it came to my health,
I was a fit and healthy young woman - the doctors confirmed it -
So why did I develop womb cancer?
I'd like an explanation of what went wrong,
Not blame and supposition now the cancer's gone,
I gave the bits to research when they cut it all out,
So when might we hear something useful?
I've never smoked and nor do I drink,
My heart is fine but I feel it sink
Every time someone else points a finger.
I'm not a lone exception to the rule,
I'm not unique so don't be fooled,
It's fine to say keep healthy, don't overeat, stay fit,
Womb cancer's not the only cancer that advice can hit,
It makes sense for a lot of health issues.
Cancer won't discriminate, thin or fat.
My friend's a vegetarian and takes her coffee black,
Another friend runs marathons, so answer me this:
Why did we develop womb cancer?

September is Womb Cancer Awareness Month.

We all know there's a lot of good work done to raise awareness of women's cancers such as breast, cervical and ovarian, but there's another cancer all women need to be aware of: womb cancer.

On average, up to 1900 women die from womb cancer each year in the UK. Although the stereotype is overweight/obese post-menopausal women, womb cancer can affect women of all ages and sizes.

Womb cancer is easier to treat when caught early but there is currently no screening programme - smear (pap) tests aren't designed to pick up womb cancer and a negative smear result doesn't rule it out, so be sure to tell your GP about any unusual symptoms connected with your monthly cycle, or after menopause.
