Did you know that ovarian cancer is the silent killer???There is no screening that can be done,you can't feel for lumps and it won't be detected by a smear.So by the time you are experiencing symptoms of ovarian cancer it is well established.My mum has an hystrectomy and still got ovarian cancer because they didn't remove the ovaries as well.So ladies should you experience sore bloated stomaches,loss of appetite and weight and have irregular bleeding PLEASE follow it up.My mum was diagnosed at 58 and spent the last 5 years of her life having operations,chemo,radio-therapy,and numerous blood transfusions.When she should have been enjoying her retirement in the sun somewhere and spending time with her much loved grandchildren.
