Introduce screening for ovarian cancer
Age 29 my friend and I were dignosed with ovarian cancer. I had recieved an early dignoses but my friend was turned away by A&E and her GP. A healthy size 8 and look pregnant. Due to months of misdiagnosis she was told she had stage 4 cancer. She needed a miracle.
Ovarian cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women and no screening A blood test CA125 could detect. Our GP's are not educated enough and are unfamiliar with the symptoms. The symptoms are misdiagnosed with IBS.
Only 15% of women are diagnosed at early stage.
We need to make awareness! Educate GP's and A&E doctors. We need screening.
I am now 30 a single mum of a 3 year old. If If I hadn't pushed my GP I might not of been here now. Too many ladies have been affected by this disease.
