September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
At Diaz Law Firm, we’re committed to standing with our community and raising awareness about critical health issues affecting our clients.
Ovarian Cancer: a Silent Killer
Ovarian cancer is often called a “silent killer” because its early symptoms are subtle, vague, and easy to mistake for everyday health issues, which leads to late diagnosis.
Know the Signs
According to the American Cancer Society, the most common symptoms include:
- persistent bloating
- pelvic or abdominal pain
- abdominal swelling with weight loss
- trouble eating or feeling full quickly
- frequent or urgent urination
- back pain
- changes in menstrual cycles (heavier or irregular bleeding)
Don’t ignore the symptoms. The Mayo Clinic reminds us that ovarian cancer often has no symptoms in its earliest stages. Awareness and early action can save lives.
Talcum Powder Litigation: Fighting for Justice
The fight against Johnson & Johnson continues. After the third bankruptcy attempt was dismissed, the litigation and trials have resumed. The outcomes of upcoming trials can help shape what justice looks likes for tens of thousands of claimants.
Several of these trials are set for later this year and into next year, both in federal court and in state courts in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
We remain dedicated to holding Johnson & Johnson accountable for knowingly selling talcum powder products contaminated with asbestos and hiding the truth from the public.
If you or someone you love has used talcum powder and later been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, don’t wait: reach out today. Our team is ready to fight for the justice you deserve.
