Women over 40
by Andy Rooney

This is for all you women 40 years and over....
and for those who are turning 40, and for those
who are scared of moving into their 40's...
AND for guys who are scared of girls over 40!!!!...

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all.
Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask,
"What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game,
she doesn't sit around whining about it.

A woman over 40 knows herself well enough

what she wants and from whom.
Few women past the age of 40 give a damn
what you might think about her or what she's doing.
Women over 40 are dignified.
They seldom have a screaming match with you
at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant.
Of course, if you deserve it,
they won't hesitate to shoot you,
if they think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved.
They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

to introduce you to her women friends.

A younger woman with a man
will often ignore even her best friend
because she doesn't trust the guy with other women.
Women over 40 couldn't care less
if you're attracted to her friends because
she knows her friends won't betray her.
Women get psychic as they age.
You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.
They already know.
A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick.
This is not true of younger women.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two,
a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest.
They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk or if you are acting like one!
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.
Unfortunately,it's not reciprocal.
For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40+,
there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants
making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.
For all those men who say,
"Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free."
Here's an update for you.
Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why?
Because women realize it's not worth
buying an entire Pig,
just to get a little sausage.

SIGNS OF OVARIAN CANCER
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
SIGNS OF OVARIAN CANCER
We all like to think that we will live forever
but the reality is that at most times,
LIFE IS TRAGICALLY SHORT
OR SHORTEN.
I wish I can do more with this message.
Hence,I am very grateful for having my blog
and my journals at Zorpia
to spread this important message
that can just save a lot of lives.
LIFE IS TRULY SHORT,MY FRIENDS,
DO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF,
THINK OF THOSE WHO LOVES YOU!
I am dedicating this to my late father,
MR.CHOONG CHI ON,
who fought against all odds for five years
against cancer only to die
at the premature age of 41 years young.
HAVE A WONDERFUL AND HEALTHY LIFE!
AlwAys,

SIGNS OF OVARIAN CANCER
(even in the absence of Ovaries)
THIS IS A MUST TO READ TO THE END
An Eye Opener on Ovarian Cancer
I hope you all take the time to read this
and pass it on to all you can.
Send this to the women
in your life that you care about.
Years ago, Gilda Radner died of ovarian cancer.
Her symptoms were inconclusive,
and she was treated for everything
under the sun until it was too late.
This blood test finally identified
her illness but alas, too late.
She wrote a book to heighten awareness.
Gene Wilder is her widower.
KATHY'S STORY:
this is the story of Kathy West
As all of you know,
I have Primary Peritoneal Cancer.
This cancer has only recently
been identified as
its OWN type of cancer,
but it is essentially Ovarian Cancer.
Both types of cancer are
diagnosed in the same way,
with the "tumor marker"
CA-125 BLOOD TEST,
and they are treated in the same way
- surgery to remove the primary tumor
and then chemotherapy
with Taxol and Carboplatin.
Having gone through this ordeal,
I want to save others from the same fate.
That is why I am sending
this message to you
and hope you will print it
and give it or send it via E-mail
to everybody you know.
One thing I have learned is
that each of us must take
TOTAL responsibility
for our own health care.
I thought I had done that
because I always had
an annual physical and PAP smear,
did a monthly Self-Breast Exam,
went to the dentist
at least twice a year, etc.
I even insisted on a sigmoidoscopy
and a bone density test last year.
When I had a total hysterectomy in 1993,
I thought that I did not have
to worry about getting any of
the female reproductive organ cancers.
LITTLE DID I KNOW.
I don't have ovaries
(and they were HEALTHY when they were removed),
but I have what is essentially ovarian cancer.
Strange, isn't it?
These are just SOME of the things
our Doctors never tell us:
ONE out of every 55 women
will get OVARIAN or
PRIMARY PERITONEAL CANCER.
The "CLASSIC" symptoms are
an ABDOMEN that rather SUDDENLY ENLARGES
and CONSTIPATION and/or DIARRHEA.
I had these classic symptoms
and went to the doctor.
Because these symptoms
seemed to be "abdominal",
I went to a gastroenterologist.
He ran tests that were designed
to determine whether
there was a bacteria infection;
these tests were negative,
and I was diagnosed
with "Irritable Bowel Syndrome".
I guess I would have accepted
this diagnosis had it not been
for my enlarged abdomen.
I swear to you,
it looked like I was 4-5 months pregnant!
I therefore insisted on more tests
They took an X-ray of my abdomen;
it was negative.
I was again assured that
I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome
and was encouraged to go on
my scheduled month-long trip to Europe .
I couldn't wear any
of my slacks or shorts
because I couldn't get them buttoned,
and I KNEW something was radically wrong.
I INSISTED on more tests,
and they reluctantly)
scheduled me for a CT-Scan
(just to shut me up, I think).
This is what I mean by
"taking charge of our own health care."
The CT-Scan showed
a lot of fluid in my abdomen
(NOT normal).
Needless to say,
I had to cancel my trip
and have FIVE POUNDS
of fluid drawn off at the hospital
(not a pleasant experience I assure you),
but NOTHING compared to
what was ahead of me.
Tests revealed cancer cells in the fluid.
Finally, finally, finally,
the doctor ran a CA-125 blood test,
and I was properly diagnosed.
I HAD THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS
FOR OVARIAN CANCER,
AND YET THIS SIMPLE CA-125 BLOOD TEST
HAD NEVER BEEN RUN ON ME,
not as part of my annual physical exam
and not when I was symptomatic.
This is an inexpensive
and simple blood test!
Be forewarned that their doctors
might try to talk them out of it,
saying, "IT ISN'T NECESSARY."
Believe me,
had I known then what I know now,
we would have caught my cancer
much earlier (before it was a stage 3 cancer).
Insist on the CA-125 BLOOD TEST;
DO NOT take "NO" for an answer!
The normal range for a CA-125 BLOOD TEST
is between zero and 35.
MINE WAS 754. (That's right, 754!).
If the number is slightly above 35,
you can have another done in
three or six months
and keep a close eye on it,
just as women do
when they have fibroid tumors
or when men have a slightly
elevated PSA test
(Prostatic Specific Antigens)
that helps diagnose prostate cancer.
Having the CA-125 test done
annually can alert you early,
and that's the goal in
diagnosing any type of cancer
- catching it early.
Do you know 55 women?
If so, at least one of them
will have this VERY AGGRESSIVE cancer.
Please, go to your doctor
and insist on a CA-125 test
and have one EVERY YEAR
for the rest of your life.
And forward this message
to every woman you know,
and tell all of your female
family members and friends.
Though the median age for this cancer is 56,
(and, guess what, I'm exactly 56),
women as young as 22 have it.
Age is no factor.
A NOTE FROM THE RN:
Well, after reading this,
I made some calls.
I found that the CA-125 test
is an ovarian screening test
equivalent to a man's PSA test prostate screen
(which my husband's doctor automatically
gives him in his physical each year
and insurance pays for it).
I called the general practitioner's office
about having the test done.
The nurse had never heard of it.
She told me that she doubted
that insurance would pay for it.
So I called Prudential Insurance Co,
and got the same response.
Never heard of it
- it won't be covered.
I explained that it was the same
as the PSA test they had paid
for my husband for years.
After conferring with
whomever they confer with,
she told me that the
CA-125 would be covered.
It is $75 in a GP's office
and $125 at the GYN's.
This is a screening test that
should be required
just like a PAP smear
(a PAP smear cannot detect
problems with your ovaries).
And you must insist that
your insurance company pay for it.
Gene Wilder and Pierce Brosnan
(his wife had it, too)
are lobbying for women's health issues,
saying that this test should
be required in our physicals,
just like the PAP and the mammogram.
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT
TO SEND THIS OUT TO
ALL THOSE YOU CAN.
BE IT MALE OR FEMALE,
IT SHOULD NOT MATTER,
AS THEY CAN FORWARD IT ALSO TO
THOSE LOVED ONES THEY KNOW.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
FORWARDING SOMETHING
AS IMPORTANT AS THIS,
HERE'S A LITTLE HINT
THAT MAY ASSIST YOU WITH YOUR DECISION
~ JUST PRETEND THAT THIS IS A JOKE,
WHICH IT CERTAINLY IS NOT,
AND SEND IT OUT TO ALL THE FOLKS
YOU WOULD IF IT WAS THANKS.
