And now the ask: I operate a wristwatch enthusiast group, and for the past four years we have hosted a fundraiser for FWC. If you're interested in donating, click the link to learn more about it, and how you could possibly receive a gift for doing so: www.beapeachcampaign.com

Early detection, knowing the symptoms, and sharing the knowledge with the women you know is vital. know the symptoms and share the knowledge! Please read and share the attached information sheets, and visit www.foundationforwomenscancer.org for more information. You may just help save a life! 2/
• Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine
cancer, is the most common gynecologic
cancer
• 85% of women with endometrial cancer
survive because of early detection
• Three out of four women are diagnosed at
Stage I
• Endometrial cancer usually occurs around the
time of menopause, but younger women are
also at risk
Symptoms
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding; younger women
should note irregular or heavy vaginal bleeding
• Bleeding after menopause
• A watery pink or white discharge from the vagina
• Two or more weeks of persistent pain in the
lower abdomen or pelvic area
• Pain during sexual intercourse
Stages of Endometrial Cancer
Over 90% of women diagnosed with endometrial
cancer say that they experienced abnormal
vaginal bleeding prior to their diagnosis.
Please see a gynecologist or gynecologic
oncologist and ask about an endometrial biopsy
if you experience any of these symptoms.• Most cases of cervical cancer are now
preventable
• Vaccinating young children before they
become sexually active can prevent cervical
precancer and cancer
• Regular Pap tests and HPV testing at
recommended intervals are equally important
in preventing cervical cancer
Symptoms
• Vaginal odor
• Pain
• Bleeding after intercourse
• Excessive discharge and abnormal
bleeding between periods
Stages of Cervical Cancer
These symptoms may be caused by cancer or
by other health problems. It is important for a
woman to see her doctor if she is having any
of these symptoms.
Most women will have no symptoms, so getting
vaccinations and regular Pap tests plus HPV
tests when recommended is key to preventing
cervical cancer.• Only 15% of all ovarian cancer cases are
detected at the earliest, most curable stage
• One in 71 women will develop ovarian cancer
in her lifetime
• Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of
cancer death in women
Symptoms
• Bloating
• Urinary symptoms, urgency or frequency
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
Stages of Ovarian Cancer
These symptoms are particularly concerning
if they occur almost daily for a few weeks
or more. If this happens to you, see a doctor,
preferably a gynecologist, and specifically ask
about the possibility of ovarian cancer as a
cause of your symptoms.
If ovarian cancer is suspected or diagnosed,
seek care first from a gynecologic oncologist.• Vaginal cancer begins in the vagina, the
muscular tube that connects the outer part
of the female genitalia (vulva) to the uterus.
Most vaginal cancers occur in the lining of
the vagina
• The vulva includes the labia majora (outer
lips), the labia minora (inner lips), the clitoris
and the opening of the vagina. Vulvar cancer
most often affects the inner edges of the
labia majora or the labia minora
Symptoms of Vaginal Cancer
• Unusual vaginal bleeding
• Bleeding after vaginal sex
• Pain
• Problems with urination or bowel movements
• Watery discharge
• Lump or mass in the vagina
Symptoms of Vulvar Cancer
• Chronic itching
• Abnormal bleeding or discharge
• Skin color changes (lighter or darker, red or pink)
• Bump or lump with wart-like or raw surfaces
• Open sore
See a doctor if you experience any symptoms.

🧵 September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. Every SIX MINUTES someone is diagnosed with one of the five gynecologic cancers: Cervical, Ovarian, Uterine/Endometrial, Vaginal, Vulvar? While there is routine screening for cervical cancer there is no routine test or screen for the other types. 1/

Proton is suffering a major outage due to a cooling failure at their Frankfurt data center. No wonder my email and VPN aren't working. status.proton.me
 Global Outage
Identified - We have identified a critical cooling failure in our Frankfurt datacenter. We are currently in the process of shifting traffic to our backups sites.
Aug 27, 2026 - 00:38 CEST
Update - It appears that Proton VPN works for some, so it has been changed to "Partial Outage" rather than "Major Outage"

Update - We are continuing to investigate this issue.

What's your favorite Bible verse? Wrong answers only.
 ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
