Story
Please join me in raising funds and awareness for ovarian cancer.
Every woman needs to know the symptoms of ovarian cancer.
In Australia, three women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every day. It could be you, your friend, your partner, your sister, your mum, your gran or your daughter.
There is no early detection test for ovarian cancer and the Pap test does not detect the disease.
Women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer report four types of symptoms most frequently:
• Abdominal or pelvic pain.
• Increased abdominal size or persistent abdominal bloating.
• Needing to urinate often or urgently.
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly.
If you have any of these symptoms, they are new for you and you have experienced them multiple times during a 4-week period, download our Symptom diary now.
