September: Endometrial Cancer Awareness Month Tidbit #2

Some pictures are worth a thousand words....


Okay... endometrial/ uterine cancer is 4th most common cancer among women.  What are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd most common cancer among women?  

1st: Breast cancer... the odds are 1 in 8
2nd: Lung cancer... 1 in 16
3rd: Colon cancer... 1 in 19
4th: Uterine cancer... 1 in 41.  And it happened to me.  It's real.  

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer, claiming about 8,000 lives per year.
