New work alert. And important work at that!
We’ve all had embarrassing moments – but speaking up about your health should never be one of them. That’s why GSK is launching Don’t Be Embarrassed: a disease education campaign to raise awareness about endometrial cancer and help people start important conversations about gynecologic health – including topics that may feel embarrassing to discuss openly. Because staying silent can leave you at risk for #EndometrialCancer. Speaking up could save a life! Learn more: www.DontBeEmbarrassed.com
