Raising awareness and checking early symptoms is crucial
As ovarian cancer is affecting my family and I am really keen to raise awareness of the symptoms with friends and family as we all have people in our lives who could be affected by ovarian cancer. Have a look at the symptoms on the NHS or a trusted medical website. They include
-a swollen tummy or feeling bloated
-pain or tenderness in your tummy or the area between your hips (pelvic pain)
-no appetite or feeling full quickly after eating
-indigestion
-constipation or diarrhoea
-back pain
-feeling tired all the time
-losing weight without trying
As September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month my family and I are taking part in Ovar-Dressed London to raise funds and awareness in aid of Target Ovarian Cancer, the UK's leading ovarian cancer charity. They target what’s important to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives – that means symptoms awareness, life-saving early diagnosis, better treatments and support for everyone affected by ovarian cancer.
Please support my fundraising if you can, and together we’ll transform the future for everyone diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Thank you for reading this and always urge your loved ones to get any concerns checked out as soon as possible.
