Re: Eve Appeal for Ovarian Cancer - please read to save your life

Julie, thanks for this post and raising awareness. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with a cyst and had the cyst and an ovary removed. I was fortunate enough to be able to go privately when I knew something wasn't right, and the first thing the consultant did was the CAT125 blood test to rule out ovarian cancer. It was a sobering moment, as I could easily see how women could ignore the symptoms for a long time. Maybe one day this testing will become more routine - we live in hope. I have supported a breast cancer charity for many years after an aunt suffered from it, but have switched my regular donation now to ovarian cancer as this silent killer gets so much less publicity.
