The American Cancer Society along with a list of Cancer experts has released a simple guideline that help women realize that they may be suffering Ovarian Cancer symptoms.

What is Ovarian Cancer?

Although the cause is unknown, like other cancers, they are a localized uncontrollable growth of cells, in this case, Ovarian Cancer occurs on the Ovaries which produce eggs and hormones for women. Because there may be very few noticeable symptoms until it reaches and advanced stage, early detection rarely occurs, as such, there is only a 50% survival rate after 5 years! Cancer sure does suck.

Ovarian Cancer Symptoms

Although the old guidelines still remain true such as:

• Abdominal discomfort and/or pain
• Gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, or cramps
• Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination
• Loss of appetite
• Feeling of fullness even after only a light meal
• Unexplained weight gain or loss
• Abnormal bleeding from the vagina
• Hair growth, voice deepening, acne, loss of menstrual periods

This list is very generic and can be a host of any other less severe diseases, wasting precious time going down the wrong road. The American Cancer Society recently added the following to clarification to further promote early diagnosis of this treatable cancer.

If you experience any of the above for several weeks (ei: 2+) and it isn’t from a pre-existing condition, tell your doctor right away. I would suggest you be demand him to perform a CA-125 Assay which is a blood test to measure the amount of this substance in your body. If it’s elevated, it may mean Ovarian Cancer is present

Treatment and Prevention of Ovarian Cancer

Although there are no set guidelines for cancer prevention as the cause is still unknown, a good diet, exercise and healthy lifestyle will go a long way. If anything, this will allow your body to recover that much faster if you need to have surgery to remove the growth(s). Treatment options are surgery, chemotherapy and using radiation in various ways.

The Bottom Line

Cancer is an environmental and lifestyle condition 90% of the time, the healthier you are, the better your chances of not only avoidance but also pulling through in top shape.

I saw this video and was truly inspired, this guy flies a jet engine strapped onto his back and literally allows him to FLY! Hey, those are the Swiss Alps… no problem!

What is this doing on this site?

Well, take a look at the guy flying, he is approaching 50 years old! Add this to the list of things you MUST do within your lifetime, sure makes keeping yourself in top shape throughout your lifetime worth it huh? Just think, each time to junk food, you are a dollar closer to affording this and your body will be in that much better shape to handle the g-forces! It’s a win / win no matter how you cut it! Health is about far more then just hitting the gym and eating… it’s about getting the most out of your body THROUGHOUT your life to experienced the most out of the gift of life that you where given.

JetCat Information

As the site is in German, I will translate some of the information for you! This jet pack is manufactured by JetCat Germany and they have extensive turbo-jet engine production experience. I noticed on the video that there where six jet packs (that I could see) on the wings so my guess is you wanted one of these babies, your looking at at least 15-25 thousand dollars US, that is, if they will sell you one.

The guy in the video

As Yves Rossy has a web site in French, I guess I need to translate that for you as well! Yves has extensive flying experience from being a co-pilot for Boeing 747 Swissair to flying over a thousand hours at Mach 2 in a military jet. He has over 1100 parachute, skysurfs and other drops using prototypes under his belt. He was born in 1959. Suffice it to say, he knows what he is doing and has trained his body to handle the stresses involved with flying a JetCat!

Would I do this

Absolutely! It would probably take a few months of training as you don’t want it to be a one way trip but being a pilot myself, this is the equivalent of driving a car vs riding a motorcycle but for the air.

The Bottom Line

You are never too old to dream but a neglected body cannot implement them.
