‘Wait Time Paradox’ Flags Difficulties in Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis https://t.co/finT9WJikE

[Colletta Orr @CollettaOrr]

8 years ago today, I was on Claflin’s campus talking to women about breast and ovarian cancer. 🩷🩵

This Women’s History Month, I’m still showing up because our health is our history, and our future.

No lump. Still cancer. 💗
Inflammatory breast cancer doesn’t show up the way you’d expect.
Don’t dismiss it. Push for answers.

Ovarian cancer whispers before it screams. 🤍
Bloating. Pelvic pain. Feeling full too fast. Frequent urination.
These aren’t “nothing.” These are signs.
Book the appointment. Trust your body. 🩵💗

Let’s correct that.
Awareness is not age-restricted.
Education, advocacy, and early conversations matter at every age.

Reducing recurrence risk starts with daily choices.
Movement. Nutrition. Follow-up care.

@OvarianHope Congratulations!

[Colletta Orr @CollettaOrr]

You can feel healthy and still be at risk.
Breast and ovarian cancer risk does not always begin with symptoms.
Prevention starts with awareness, not diagnosis.

You feel fine… until you don’t.

Prevention is not about panic.
It’s about awareness, education, and early action.

Not every door deserves to stay open.
Not every relationship deserves unlimited access.
Alignment, purpose, and peace > everything. 💫

A serious disease can hide behind simple symptoms 🩵
Ovarian cancer often does not shout. It whispers. That is why awareness matters.
Your body speaks. Listen to it. Advocate for it. Protect it.

Nothing will rearrange your relationships like success! ✌🏽

As a breast & ovarian cancer researcher, I keep these three anti-inflammatory staples in my home at all times.

Reducing chronic inflammation is one of the most under-discussed strategies in breast cancer prevention.

I wish I had learned this sooner: your body whispers before it ever screams.
Listening early is one of the strongest forms of prevention.

While in vitro fertilization (IVF) temporarily raises estrogen levels, research suggests it doesn’t increase breast cancer risk — even for people with a history of the disease. https://t.co/2tL2q3LgIA

Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer not because they don’t get screened, but because of gaps in care and research.

It’s time to close these gaps. 🧬✊🏾

Breast density isn’t talked about enough.

Women with dense breast tissue have a higher risk of breast cancer and mammograms can sometimes miss early signs.

✨ One simple question can make a difference:
👉🏽 “What’s my breast density?”
