NOTE:
In our meeting discussion we learned that the Univ. of KY hosts an FREE ovarian cancer screening clinic at McCracken County Health Department in Paducah. Eligibility includes women ages 50+ and also 25+ with have a family history of ovarian cancer. You can call this phone number 1-855-226-0174 to schedule an appointment. The phone number goes to Frankfort, KY and they schedule appointments on MONDAYS at the McCracken County Health Department in Paducah. Not only is this screening important, it could also potentially detect cancer in other areas.
