HEALTH & WELLNESS CORNER
SEPTEMBER AWARENESS
Ovarian and Prostate Cancer Awareness Month September is Ovarian and Prostate Cancer Awareness Month! This month aims to increase awareness and improve support for those affected by ovarian and prostate cancer. There have been great improvements in the treatment, detection, and prevention of these types of cancer, so this month, we will be looking at a few ways to keep you and your loved ones healthy. What is Cancer? The body is made up of cells that grow and divide naturally. Normally, when cells become old or damaged, new cells are generated to replace them. This process happens without issue almost every day. However, cancer can interrupt this natural process if the genetic material (DNA) of some cells are damaged or changed. When cells are altered, they can grow and replicate uncontrollably. Ovarian and prostate cancer are characterized by a group of these altered cells in the ovaries or prostate. Ovarian and Prostate Cancer Although these diseases affect men and women disproportionately, they are both hormone-related cancers which affect organs in the reproductive system. Ovarian cancer affects the ovaries, which are small glands on each side of the uterus. Prostate cancer affects the prostate, which is a small gland located in the lower abdomen. Ovarian cancer generally affects women, while prostate cancer affects men, but in both cases, routine checkups can reduce the risk of developing cancer. Early detection allows for more treatment options and preventative measures. Knowing the Signs Both types of cancers are united by a lack of symptoms in their early stages. Knowing the signs and symptoms is extremely important to early detection and treatment. The early symptoms of ovarian cancer include pelvic pain, bloating, and difficulty eating. The early symptoms of prostate cancer include frequent urination and pain in the spine, ribs, or hips. Recognizing these symptoms could save you from further developing cancer, so be sure to check in with a doctor if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. Additionally, if you recognize these symptoms in a friend, co-worker, or loved one, be sure to refer them to their doctor. Screening Ovarian cancer is notoriously difficult to detect. Regular checkups and screening can help notice irregularities in ovarian health, but it is best to contact your OBGYN if you notice any new or persistent changes. Asking for a screening during your yearly checkup could also help you identify ovarian cancer in its early stages. Prostate cancer can be mitigated by getting a prostate exam every 3 to 5 years. The doctor will check for any irregularities or lumps and send you to further screening if needed. But again, if you notice any changes in your health, it is best to ask for a full screening. What Can You Do? This month, spread awareness about ovarian and prostate cancer. While these topics can be scary and difficult to talk about, bringing them to light could save a life! Feel free to visit ovariancanada. org or cancer.ca/en/about-us/prostate-cancer if you would like to learn more!
Kudos Cai MacCarthy - Metrotown #49 Good selsction and quality battery terminal connectors compared to CT. Thanks Cai for your friendly and knowledgeable help! -Ben H
AJ Gosal - Langley #9 I was in a bit of a pickle. I had just picked up my car from being fixed at a collision center, and as I was driving home the car threw a warning about my coolant. I called to get help from where it was fixed and because it was already 530pm no one was there to help. I ended up going to the Lordco to get help and help they did. AJ who was helping me found me a better option on the coolant that I needed and it was more affordable than the original one I was considering. He also came out to my car to help check and confirm I actually needed it. Then he even helped put it in my car. It was such a huge help! He saved the day so if you need to go anywhere, I would highly recommend this location and ask for AJ he was awesome!
Chris Nasr - Maple Ridge #89 Chris is a lifesaver! Anything you need, he is able to take the time to find the correct part for you -Dallas Rooy
Wayne Pero - Edmonton #95 Wayne was really helpful, helped me choose the right spark plug gap tool. -Aron
Stuart McGifford - Port Alberni #91 Stuart was very patient and helpful in my search for something unusual. -H Pearson
