    Green tea has recently attracted attention as a natural product possessing preventative effects against cancer. The catechins in tea can suppress carcinogens and inhibit cancerous cell growth. Tea is rich in what many believe helps prevent cancer such as carotene, vitamin C and E and dietary fiber. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the main constituent of green tea is a powerful anti-oxidant and significantly anti-carcinogenic. I found the best organic Japanese green tea at www.sakurateahouse.com

    My mother died from this horrible disease in 2006. Watching and caring for her through all of this, if anything good came of her death, it made me more aware of this cancer. I am religious in my exams and pay more attention to my self. Hopefully, they will come up with some kind of test that can diagnose this cancer in a timely manner.

    I have heard recently of Ovasure as a blood test to detect early stage ovarian cancer. While searching for more info, I found it available as an online test. It is a bit expensive, but there is no office visit to pay for. You get your result by e-mail, so not on your medical record either. http://www.personalabs.com
