September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month! It’s so common to think it won’t happen to you, but cancer could be developing in your reproductive organs without you even knowing. In fact, the Foundation for Women’s Cancer estimates that one woman will be diagnosed every 5 minutes and more than 33,000 will die from GYN cancers this year. Yet these types of cancer are often not spoken about or thought of until it’s too late. In this episode, host Melanie Hebert sits down with Dr. Renee Cowan, GYN oncologist, and Ashley Marks, oncology nurse navigator, to talk all about the different types of GYN cancers and the preventative steps you can take that will help lower your risk.
