How ironic that you sent this today. The U of A vs Michigan game today got a group of us discussing Ovarian Cancer (for those of you who don't know, the wife of U of A's head coach passed away just a few months ago from Ovarian Cancer..so the team is dedicating their games to her memory).

Anyway, in the middle of this conversation someone brought up that there is a TEST for Ovarian Cancer that can lead to early detection..yet INSURANCE COMPANIES REFUSE TO COVER TEH COST!!! If tehy can cover mammograms and PSA's (I think that's the one for Prostate Cancer), then why not this preventative medical screening???? Maybe it's time to lobby!!!!! (As if there aren't already so many other things to "fight" for). It's amazing how much power these compnaies have over our health and wellbeing!!!

Sorry, I guess I'm on a soap box!
