"There were whispers of awareness in September, the month dedicated to ovarian cancer — a disease afflicting approximately 25,000 mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, wives, cousins, aunts, nieces, family and friends each year. Sadly, more than half, approximately 16,000 women, die from ovarian cancer yearly."

What I would like to know is why the hospitals don't offer the same service to woman as they do to men? Civista just had a free prostate screening this past month. It offered an exam and the blood test. I think that is great but why can't women have the same? An pelvic exam and the blood test?
