How it's going I’ve been a Uro-Oncology CNS for 21 years and I still love what I do. I’ve also helped to shape Uro-Oncology nursing at national level; winning some awards along the way for simply doing what I enjoy. I'm so proud to be part of this profession #NationalCancerCNSDay

March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. The symptoms of ovarian cancer can be vague, and can be linked to other less serious conditions. See your doctor if you have changes that are unusual for you or won't go away. Repost this to help raise awareness 🔁
